Sean, that is part of the plan, as best as can be. And with regards to some of my comments too, I have no axe to grind at all, nor am I unthankful one bit, even if it may sound that way. I do have much to be thankful for living where I do, I have never been out of work, and while I haven’t made top dollar figures, I have been able to be comfortable and have a few nice things. We all find our way, one way or another and make the best of it as we go.
As you said though, as you get older, the kids, the mortgage, health care etc., does put one on a slippery slope. My job is always a somewhat precarious one, as I constantly feel squeezed and pushed(maybe on the way out?). The rat race/grind becomes hard and the games too many. Survival is the game. And thanks for the well wishes, best to you and yours as well!
