Early Retirement

Am lucky to be enjoying my time at this age. Am on semi retirement. I work homebased, full time, but it's really a breeze. In fact, I have so much time in my hands that I can accommodate freelance assignments. I have technology to thank for that--my laptop, hsdpa phone, pda, desktop, dsl.

Am not saying that I have loads of moolah to support my lifestyle. I don't really have savings but I live a good life. I have a house. I have parents who are both retired and own a farm. More important than that is the support that we give to each other.

If only I can drive, I have a car too. Hahahaha. Money was not a motivation for me to accept a job. As long as am paid a fair amount, am ok with it. I finished a Journalism course. Although it doesn't necessarily follow, I write. I enjoy it. Getting paid for something that I enjoy doing is really a bonus. I've had many free assignments before, mostly for friends. Am fine with that. Although practically speaking, I need to earn to cover the bills. When I earn enough for my internet, cc, water, electricity, mortgage, am good. Shopping is not really something that I miss although I love to shop. I've had my time.

I have the things that I need--clothes, bags, shoes, makeup, lotion, moisturizer (day & night), gadgets, etc etc etc. I didn't have all those during my younger years. But I don't have regrets. My parents have provided a good home. Enough money is good for me. I don't want to be filthy.

I cherish the relationships that I have. Am very comfortable with the people that I choose to be part of my life.

So I have a happy family, great friends, and a very nice bf.

Guess am really lucky.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

I feel good.
