If you were able would you do it for $1 an hour now? Or how much would it take. My problem is I will work for whatever extra money I can get. If it's $5, $8, $10, $20, $50 an hour and I'm not doing anything else I figure it's money I don't have.

Things sure have changed since we were young. I never remember asking what it paid, just was happy for the work.

Don't say it if it's not true. I'm unemployed now.

I'm reminded, of an obscure 3rd rate movie in which the lead actor kept saying........"That was then, this is now".

Plus gas money.there heck yes
See, now you are making it complicated by wanting your expenses paid.
Congrats! You will enjoy retirement for sure. You can work and do your own special projects at your own pace. No stress...just pure enjoyment. Besides working for others (their dreams) and money are overrated. I retired 4 years ago on my 55th birthday. Having caught pneumonia at 54-3/4's and sincerely praying repeatedly to God to Die, (literally) I was done in life, I wanted to go. God stepped-in, gave me a message and showed me a few things...what I was doing wrong...so I changed my life in a dramatic manner. All my life I had some-kind of Howard Hughes wealth hoarding sickness...so now, i'm happy to report I'm a dying wealth battery....Even the land and cattle infrastructure has really help deliver me from my own evils....I feel normal now. I have new found cattle friends that beg me for a ripe banana every time I go to see them. Can't beat that. Life is good, God is good...Please God.

Kenny, all you've done is reject a regular paycheck…the "paycheck" you will get now might not always be $$.
At some point, when your retired life becomes overly busy, I hope you will learn to say no. It's ok to slow down and enjoy watching everyone else scurry about.

Mr. Thomas> It is OK to retire but not to quit. Remember the decision to retire is yours.
The control thereof is Adonai's. Rejoice each day and be blessed. LVR

I agree fully!!
Being your own boss doesn't have to mean always working for a tyrant.
If you don't have time to stop and smell the roses at least slow down occasionally and look at them as you pass by on the way to deposit the checks.

I'm taking it easy today bear hunting. Riding the jeep in places most people would pay good money to ride and see. Treed 1 bear earlier, running another one now.

No, but I've heard some wives complain about having their husbands around the house all day. Especially the ones like my father-in-law, whose engineer brain couldn't resist giving my mother-in-law helpful suggestions about better and more efficient ways to do things around the house.

I stay busy most of the time. But there are days like today. It was -7 when I got up this morning. I took about 20 minutes to feed the calves. Now I am considering making a sandwich for lunch.
