Certain things I buy each month.

Life is good when you are retired, but aging is not good.

Yup. We just froze a bunch of cherries.

We buy about the same. I am happy to be retired and can do as I please when I please.

I don´t have a very good retirement pension. But as I almost don´t spend any money in clothes, I often buy delicious things to eat. My treats are a cake, some nice cheeses and a bit of salami. And although I eat less meat than I used to, I buy the best when I want some.

Yes. We have decided since we can't leave our money to family...no kids and all the rest have passed away except for cousins...that we will get things fixed around the house and spend when we want to spend. Yes, life is good. Now if our health was just better. Have a good day. What kind of birds are those?

Congratulations, you can do whatever you want. There are still 20 years until I retire at the age of 55

My dad was very happy when his daughters were out of the house. He hasn’t retired yet, but he doesn’t want to even if he could. I don’t particularly understand that, but then he has a love for people. Bing cherries are a luxury I would love to have! They are such delights. And, I’m glad you have the freedom to do what you want. You deserve it, pretty lady!

It can be for sure. Glad your money is going further this days..

I think so too. After I cleared my home loans, it felt like a huge boulder had been lifted off my shoulder. I of course don't have kids, but my father is more than handful. LOL. He caused me decent losses post his retirement and mine too. Added to that is the fact that I don't have kids, am too old to be traveling up and down courts, and have the responsibility of my father. These factors make it easy for others to become belligerent with me. Recently one of the former tenants tried to usurp my property and took away a decent amount. If dad was not down, I would have run around courts. As to indulging self, I indulge me about twice each week. I am lucky I prepared for medical insurance in time. So today, my father has a decent coverage, and so do I. I now need to provide for out of pocket medical expenses. Once that is done, only building repairs. Life goes on. LOL

Yes it is. George was loving his first year of retirement.

Yes, and even better is no boss gettin bossy

I’m glad that you are enjoying retirement.

I am on a very tight budget and order groceries online once a week, With the tropical summer weather in Florida my next month's order might just include ice cream, puddings, yogurts, Jello and watermelon because nothing hot seems appealing any more,

I am in agreement with you that life is fun when you are no longer working.

It can be very good.

We buy what we like too now if we want it bad enough. As you say, it's good to be retired.

Happy for you. Yes, life is good when we have done our part. We reap what we sow.

I agree to you point . it is nice photo.

My journey is just begun . Decades left until I would retire .

Thats interesting ! I do not have a monthly purchase or food ritual. Mostly it is buy on the go expect perhaps nuts. I do much peanuts, pistaschios and almonds and at times keep a stock of same. Glad to read your part. Thanks!
