9:23PM Sassy
Awww… you look relaxed.
9:23PM Phil
Yeah, this doesn’t suck
Smoking a cigar in the surf under amazing stars
9:24PM Sassy
Could do that every night?
9:24PM Phil
Oh yeah, I like it here.
So peaceful
Listening to music
9:28PM Sassy
Sounds ideal.
9:30PM Phil
Looked at houses today. Lots of tiki bars and plenty in my price range on the water
9:39PM Sassy
That one place looking incredible. Will it be safe in a storm?
9:42PM Phil
Has automatic shutters on all doors and windows. It’s up off the water a bit. We want something exactly like that with a small boat. The neighbors say they do ok
9:43PM Sassy
Can you hire a pool company? Keeping those up is tricky. Does it have a great bathroom or two?
9:44PM Phil
Spectacular neighborhood and exactly what I hoped for in retirement. I’ll stay in the DC area another few years but would like to buy a place while the rates are still low and use it as a vacation home
9:45PM Sassy
Can you rent it out when you’re not there to make some back?
9:45PM Phil
Bathrooms are spectacular. I had a pool for 20 years but would hire someone here
Sassy
Oh right… I remember now.
9:46PM Phil
We could but would rather not
9:46PM Sassy
Is there a military base around there, PX etc.
9:47PM Phil
Houses are cheap compared to DC so not much of a mortgage
Lots of military folks
So yeah, all that stuff is available
9:48PM Sassy
Wow
That kid from our little hometown has come far!
selling your other property?
9:48PM Phil
Yeah
My retirement income is generous so we should manage ok
9:50PM Sassy
Wowzers
9:51PM Phil
I still make 95% of what I made on active duty in retirement pay
9:51PM Sassy
I am looking into retirement at age 60
9:51PM Phil
Plus my retirement from the current job
9:51PM Sassy
Had my broker crunch the numbers… he said I have 133% of what I’d need.
9:51PM Phil
I’ll work till I’m 65 cause I’d go crazy other wise
That’s awesome!
9:52PM Sassy
My employer has this benefit where if I work until a certain age and service, I get retiree health care
9:52PM Phil
We won’t be rich but we will get by, especially down here
9:53PM Sassy
That date is only two years away… so I could go anytime after that
9:53PM Phil
My medical and my wife’s is free
That’s awesome!
9:53PM Sassy
We plotted for me to pay for stuff until my pension kicks in, then SS… and I’d still have lots of money. Mom took good care of us.
9:54PM Phil
That’s very cool too
9:54PM Sassy
It’s freaky to have my pipe dreams all of sudden look possible and less than 3 years away
I will find some volunteer work or even another job. Thinking about leaving helps me put up with the hard days now.
9:55PM Phil
[photo of him smiling in the shower from the chest up]
In the shower I go
9:55PM Sassy
mmm mmm mmm…
Rub something for me
9:59PM Phil
Ha!
10:59PM Sassy
Great to see these women recognized for their sporting behavior!
