I don't usually comment on your blog but figured since you mentioned our troll in chief, you might get some negative comments. I"m trying to be more vocal in support of people in general, these days :)<br /><br />I'm curious how you decided to set whatever goal it is that you have for retirement - is it salary times x, or spending times 30 years, or what? I feel pretty sure that if I were in your shoes I'd be retired already!bethhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-46950688250617859112017-01-09T06:46:52.062-05:002017-01-09T06:46:52.062-05:00Good to hear from you!

You have always been an inspiration in terms of finances and I am proud to say that I have been doing pretty good too. I have saved 42% of my total income last year. So, as you say "onwards and upwards" despite the changes awaiting my job.T'Polhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16207033510057896918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-26725967539021754512017-01-09T02:56:16.099-05:002017-01-09T02:56:16.099-05:00You can blame the last 16 years of lame duck presi...You can blame the last 16 years of lame duck presidencies on why we elected Donald Trump to office. You say you lost faith in our democracy??? The democracy actually worked. The people have spoken and they are obviously sick of they direction this country is heading. An regardless Trump is our president now so it would be good to give him the benefit of the doubt. We survived the first 44 presidents and we will survive him. Also you never know, he just might be a good one. I had high hopes for Obama. Really thought he was gonna be better than Bush and Clinton but he did nothing but try an bankrupt and divide us. The most divisive president in history IMO. So you never know. What you think is bad just might end up being good. Only time will tell.

Meanwhile doing good with the savings. <br /><br />I was wondering how you track your expenses if you do not mind sharing that, that is something I need to get a handle on for future retirement planning.krammehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260961171010494753noreply@blogger.com
