    Hell yeah, that sounds like the way to do it. I’m much the same way, being a decade younger and having a kid that will be 18 in a decade. If you are able, why not make your own home into your favorite place to be?

    I don’t have mountains to look at but I built a koi pond in the back yard. There are a lot of birds in the trees out there, plus we have a bunch of other pets of our own. Just chilling and observing natural beauty and being in that moment can be so nice.

      You’re on your way brother. The children being grown when you get to the decade that you retire is the big game changer I think. I love my kids, and I actually thought about having more a few years ago, but financially just wasn’t something I could wing.

      Plus I worked in an elementary school for my last few days of work, so they sorta all became my kids. And I still volunteer there, so it’s worked out for me.

      Now, if my kids would have kids so I could at least have grandbabies, then hey! All the better! lol
