15. It is true that I should not be worried over.

I will be ok, this just was not in my plans. One more year would have been better so that I could have gotten early SS, but I will also have to go with Plan B. How many of us end up with Plan B!

I am truly lucky to have a house that is paid off and no debt except for the usual bills we must pay. Just like you, I have always saved money from my first job all the way through my life. That makes me better off than most people. It is too bad that I never was able to find really good paying jobs so that there was a lot of money to save, but I can't complain.

I am glad that you found a life and a place where you can be happy. To be honest, I don't think many of us are living where we would love to live. We end up where we are for so many other reasons, but make the best of it.
