It's always nice to have a plan but somehow life gets in the way and the plan goes off course. It could be for many reasons, the worst being health issues. We never know what lies ahead so try and enjoy life along the way.
I think the best investment I've ever made has been in family. I put all three of my kids through private schools then college with no loans and they all have great lives with great jobs making more money than I ever made. I have 4 wonderful grand children and hopefully more to come. That makes me feel like I've accomplished my goals. There were sacrifices along the way but it was well worth it. I always thought I would retire early but I'm 63 now and I have no regrets. Now I'm just waiting for Medicare to kick in and I'm done. My wife and I have worked hard our whole lives. Now it's our time and the lake house is calling us full time. No regrets!
