Life Plans

Tell me about it....as a kid and young adult I had SO many plans for my life, but I had a lot of weird detours and setbacks....but now I'm moving toward accomplishing my goals after all this time...never too late to start!!

You got that right, I a few years ago, I was at the same company for 22 1/2 years, beginning to see the retirement light glow. then one day, my job went away, it went off-shore. So here I am, a female, early 50's, well educated (Master's degree in Comp Science), looking for a job. Right, I had a better chance of seeing God then getting a similar job with a comparable salary. Now 2 years later, my retirement savings is all but gone, I have a job that pays me about 30% of what I made before, I have to work about 20 hours OT a week to meet my bills...nothing exciting - no car payment, just mortgage and taxes and stuff. What good does planning really do?

I tend to think that it's more exciting that things don't go as I plan, rather than annoying. :) Then again, two years ago, I never would have thought that I would have moved to Seattle and been fitting in as well as I am here. :)

Yes.We must go on to survived.If you dream to become wealthy IN LEGAL TERMS you must strive harder but sometimes it failed.But i believed in a saying that goes as "rest if you must but don't you quit" as the quitters is always a loser.
