    The Retirement Thread

    I drove past Laytonsville for 17 years, it was my commute, and played it once. Back then it was a dog track. Like Falls Rd they put a lot of money into the course and it's far nicer, but it's still a basic muni. What I love about it is the high number of women golfers, because it's flat and...

    Laytonsville Golf Course, Montgomery County. And yeah, uh, no. I couldn't get my brother in law a discount for night golf, he always wanted to try it. Have you ever tried it?

    This is why I enjoy working at the golf course. Uber gave me contact with people but it's nice to have co-workers who you know and it's a great work environment.

    Retiring early meant I have a budget. It's a forgiving budget but I have a budget none the less. One thing I'm glad I did was create a budget where I put $75/week away (I pay myself weekly). This is money dedicated to home and auto repair. This eliminates the stress when something comes up, I...

    Yeah it makes no sense to file for SS when you are still working. This is the biggest one, of course the benefit increases as you delay so if you still have a regular income why draw SS?

    Depends on the herb. Oregano from the garden is weaker than the dry version from the store, rosemary IMO is the exact same fresh or dry. But things like fresh basil or thyme are way better than anything McCormick can produce. I'm down to one tomato plant, 2 cherries in hanging baskets, an...

    I see your point and it looks like you see mine as well. I had no intentions of sitting around. I don't have a sailboat or the desire to play golf every day so I wanted something to do, to have a purpose. So I clean golf carts 2X/week and don't really consider that working, I was off all...

    To me retirement means you no longer have to work. There is a huge difference between full time work and part time retirement gigs to stay active and bring in a little extra cash for vacation upgrades, which is where I am.

    One of the saddest stories I read was that of Wendy Rieger, the tv news person. She took the same approach and retired early, worked hard to convince her friends who are all reluctant because it's scary. She poured herself into the charity work she supported and then died of brain cancer...

    This life expectancy takes into account all the deaths early in life. By the time you get to 62 your life expectancy is a little over 81 so we should plan for that. With that said nobody was lying on their deathbed wishing they had worked more and had less fun. I retired at 60 and drove an...

    Locust Hill! I was researching retirement destinations when we were thinking about relocating and Charles Town was one of the first places I looked. That would have been the local course, I found the cheap one half way to Harpers Ferry was a dog track, and I like it as it was not too tough...

    Working at a golf course is by far the best working environment of my life. Everyone's in a good mood, the players may be pissed on the 14th green but by the time they get back everyone's laughing. Co-workers are great because they look for nice, friendly people. Not only do I get free golf...

    Interesting post. When I retired I drove an Uber. It was the perfect retirement job. Work when you want, stop anytime and go take a nap. If we need money for a trip work a few weekend evenings and make $400. Then I got kicked off for a false allegation (this is common and why it's a risk to...

    Oh I'm not rooting for it, just saying Jayden playing well will be far more important to our future than a few more wins in 2026.

    My wife is really tired of me saying this but this is what is so great about sports. You never really know what's going to happen. For the same reason this is why I hate sports movies, we always know that the good guy wins in the end.

    If we go 7-10 but Jayden is great again this season will be a success IMO. We have to find out if we really have a great QB or not. Many people are talking up the OL, I see a line with question marks at C and LG. The lack of weapons is a major concern as it should be. But we aren't done...

    400 yards is a lot when you are only throwing for 3,000. And that was just one of Chig's seasons, the other 4 he was trying to catch passes from Will Levis and Ryan Tannehill.

    And again he put up those numbers without a QB like Jayden Daniels.

    That's what I was thinking. Or White out of the backfield. For years I watched Preston Pearson convert 3rd and 5's for Dallas at a frustrating rate, why not a back doing this for us?
