RETIREES ONLY: Where do you think you'll be 5 years from now? (friends, hubby)

[RiverBird]

Assuming we're not six feet under, what do you imagine for 5 years from now?

A new move? Grandkids? A different lifestyle? Healthier and how? Some unusual development? Something good after taking a huge risk?

I wish I knew how to answer that - cause it would mean I know how to plan for it.

I have always had the same lifestyle I do today . . . so I don't see that changing. I see myself spending more time at my easel, less time at the computer . . . not sure where I will be located as much of that depends on hubby's health.

I see myself doing about the same things I do now, in the same way, whether here or elsewhere, lol. I have been very fortunate to have a full and rather adventuresome life . . . don't feel I have missed out on a thing, from career to family to love to hobbies to travel . . . so I just plan to carry on. Hope health issues will allow me to keep on this path for a couple more decades.

The only changes I expect are ones that I cannot control thus I do not overly think about it.

I'm hoping we are still living where we are and that we have downsized to a smaller, easier to take care of cottage or patio home (although I'm leery of the HOA's out there). Hoping to travel more once we have downsized.

I am much healthier, dropped 40lbs however edging on 70 now we will hopefully be in a Condo with less work than the house we live in now

I can only reasonably assume that in five yeasr I will be deceased, though not six feet under
As long as the final event doesn't have an extended messy, painful prelude, the prospect is not a bummer for me.

In the indefinite meantime, I shall continue with the same activities and friends, both of which make me very happy...I don't feel the need for anything new, but it is the nature of human existence to provide it as part of the natural course of life anyway.
