So we downsized before our trip to Greece and then moved into a smaller home, but I still think I might have too much stuff. This happened last night - do you think I still need to get rid of some things? Retire Well, Helene 🙂 retirementexplored.com

Retirement means taking a boat ride whenever we want! - me, Zaf and sister Tina! Laughlin, NV....yeah for us! Retire well, Helene😀 retirementexplored.com

On our trip to Laughlin, NV we met a delightful dealer at the casino. "Van" said she has been on the job for over 40 years! I asked if she will be retiring soon and she said "I am already retired! I do this for fun!" Yeah Van! Retire Well, Helene retirementexplored.com
