A few years before I retired, one of my supervisors asked what casually how I planned to supplement my retirement pay. I replied, also casually, that I was thinking about bank robbery – “knocking over banks” was the exact phrase I used. A stunned quality in her silence gave me the impression she took me seriously for a few moments….
a small two-bedroom log cabin with a huge porch, jacuzzi on it and an old-fashioned padded rocking chair like my granddad had, in the north Pacific coastal mountain area on the side of a mountain looking down over the rocky ocean coast. with a private beach, AND no one around for miles and miles and miles. sigh……….. oh and absolutely NO SOCIAL MEDIA of any kind whatsoever and NO government stupidity. (I know that last small one is a pipe dream)

I never win anything in the lottery, primarily because I rarely buy a ticket. Even when I do, I still lose, so why bother.

Daydreaming is grossly underrated.

As his writing career goes, he’s pretty much retired already.

Born rich negates that. Retirement plans are to out live everyone!

I retire frequently, but I always wake up afterward.
