Would you like to retire?

If you were able to not work,  pay all of your bills and have $1000 left over for food, gas and entertainment each month would you? It has to cover expenses for you and those who live with you. or might eventually live with you.

Is $1000 too much?

I already did! And no, $1000 goes much quicker than you think.

Emily said...

Sounds great! But I think I'd actually miss work... why? are you ready to retire? :-)

$1000 would be plenty. Especially if all of your bills are already paid. The only addition you have is food and gas for the entire month. I'm considering cable, phone, internet, and cell phones as bills so they are already paid for. This is easily done.

I think it would be much more boring than your job though. :)

Heather, you probably spend that much on clothes for church.

Emily, I was asked if I would be happy playing video games all day instead of working. It made me think about retirement.

Kevin, You would save so much money on gas if you didn't have to drive to work everyday. One bill that you forgot was Xbox Live. That might fall into entertainment though. I would hang out with people all the time, so I don't know that it would be all that boring. I do enjoy the interaction that goes on at my place of employment/worship.

I don't think you could do it. We are too much alike and you would soon go crazy with nothing official to do. You would find yourself doing things like shopping for Kiddie Kollege just for human interaction and some kind of purpose. Stick with your day job!

So I want to know where all these insightful questions are coming from? Doesn't sound like the Keith I remember.

Maybe the computer invade his brain through Call of Duty. He wears those headphones and connects to a computer.

Any thoughts?

Keith,

I think that you have way to posh a job to retire. You would work more if you did retire so I would just stay at your curret position.

Keith you know I love you!
