The first day you go to work is the first day along the road to retirement. Given a pretty normal work life is 40 or more years the day you retire seems incredibly far off. As a recent retiree I can tell you the first thought I had when I retired was “Where did all the time go?” Fortunately, I did plan for the day when I would lo longer receive a paycheck. I followed some advice my father gave me when I started working. IT is titled To Attain Success. I have no idea of the origin.

To Attain Success

A commitment must be made
A plan must be laid
A Price must be paid
If it is going to happen, it is up to me.
