I guess it is not how much we have, but it is what we do with what we have. I signed up for social security and will get my first check in January. I will be on medicare starting the 1st day in December, so I will have medical coverage for the first time in many years. I am so healthy I don't think I need it, but you never know what you might need, so I am just happy I can have medical coverage. I supposed I am like a lot of other people. I go for years without anything happening, and then bang, I have a problem. I have had two hernia surgeries in the 1990s, and a prostate procedure in the earlier part of this century. With the Lord's help I am doing really well though. For the time I have no problems, I am strong, I am healthy, and I am active which is a lot to say for a 65 year old guy.
I am not going to get rich off my social security, but we are not in debt, and it will be sufficient, and now I really am retired. I could work if it seemed advantageous, and I would enjoy it also, so who knows I may be doing that also before long, but I have a few projects that need attention first, then we will see about the work. Everything above sounds great the travel, the building, and the giving to the work of the Lord.
