My Financial Ineptitude Has Come To Bite Me In The Ass
And now I’ve got to fix it before it’s too late (or maybe it is already)
I’m enjoying a long awaited, and very much needed vacation.
I spent a week in North Carolina with my parents, both in their 80’s whom I haven’t seen in a few years. A bonus was getting some quality time in with my sister, brother-in-law, nephews, and niece whom I haven’t visited with in a number of years. The kids are grown now and either in or graduated from college.
This separation of course is my fault. I should have made a point of visiting sooner but I didn’t and that’s on me…oh well.
Week two of our two week vacation is being spent in a small town on a barrier island in northern Florida at a long-time friends home located between a bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Let me tell you it is beautiful here and a place I could see spending my remaining years in.
This however, is only the backdrop for this article..

I am so happy for our friends being able to retire in such an ideal place, and in a new home that they built…
