This week’s questions {week of 2/21/11}:
1. How do you compile grocery list – by an inventory, or writing things as you run out?
Grocery List??? You mean, people actually still use those? LOL Ok seriously I do, sometimes use one. Usually when I send hubby to the store I do one. I even try and write in order by store layout. But I very rarely use one when I go. Which is why I rarely remember everything I need. But when I DO make one, its written right before going based on what I need to get. I'm not organized enough to add things to a list as we run out and then actually find that list!
2. At what age do you plan on retiring (or your spouse retiring)?
I would love to retire at 35, you know like that show. But since that's a year and a half from now and our savings is nonexistent that's so not happening. At this point I think I'll never retire, especially if changes aren't made with social security etc. And considering hubby is about to turn 50 and just started school for a new career...it's not looking good for him either.
3. What do you plan on doing when you retire?
I have always said it'd be fun to breed dogs when I retire. A way to keep 'babies' in the house and make a little money. I don't know if that's realistic at all. But think it would be fun. Not like a puppy mill or anything, just a few puppies every now and then. But I have no intentions of retiring and moving away. If my kids all remain local, I will stay put to be close to them and hopefully some granddaughters! (Grandsons would be great too, but please oh please could I just get one grandDAUGHTER!?)
Hello! You sound like me - except I'll be the old crazy cat lady! I would love to take in some homeless animals and give them happy lives.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you'll get to retire one day :(
You are brave to shop with no list! LOL - I have to be very specific when I send my husband to the store. And even then he still calls home with a thousand questions...
Thanks for mingling!
Breeding dogs is a great way to retire! You get the "babies" and the income however breeding can become a headache with all the puppy booster shots and wormer and what not.
ReplyDeleteGreat to meet you Lisa. No grocery list? You must have a super memory, 'cause I'd come home and remember like 4 things I'd forgotten. As for SS, I'm with you. I think by the time I come to retirement age the US of A will have been sold to China...and why is it that all "babies" come with so much responsibility? But puppies would be adorable :D Thanks for mingling, have a fantastic week.
ReplyDeleteI do that same thing when I send hubs to the store for me :) I thought I was the only one! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteOoh I'd be lost without my grocery list. Err lists in general, I suppose ;)
ReplyDeleteHow cool that your husband is starting school again! I wish him luck. Hopefully you'll get to retire... and if not that at least enjoy some quality time together :)
Breeding dogs might be fun!
Have a great week :)
Ha, I've sent my husband to the store with a list by layout. It didn't work. He spent $98 and none of us what I needed. LOL
ReplyDeleteDogs and babies, cute cuddly and in soooo much trouble.
Have a great weekend.
