:Joe Bonamassa "Just Got Paid" Live at The Royal Albert Hall 2009 - YouTube



Well, yesterday, actually. Just my S.S. check, not that much.



But, the anticipation was still there. I actually enjoy getting my check,

going to the bank, and get real money. Pick up a ham sammich at thre

Wendy's on the way home. I miss getting paid every two weeks, bad.



Well, in a few months, I will have to get my money sent to my banking

establishment. Bummer! It won't be the same. Now when I have go

get my money, I will be taking money 'OUT'. BIG difference. Getting

paid was the second best thing about working.



The best thing was 'getting off' after a full days work. And especially on

Friday! No more, 'getting off'.



In a few months, no more paycheck.

I'm retired and look at it a bit differently.

For me, every day is a Saturday and there are no Mondays! Every check that I get reminds me of paying into SS for 50 years and putting up with crap from bosses. Now, I don't do ANYTHING that I don't want to do and that tiny check allows me play with my hobbies.

I was forced out of the workforce against my wishes and was really ticked off about that. Now.........retirement is sweet! Work until age 70? What was I thinking?

i know the work i do is important, but if i hit the lottery, i'd quit tomorrow. if i didn't need the money, i'd let someone else have it-- i have SO many things i'm interested in doing, seeing, traveling to, reading, etc. not to mention hanging with friends and/or family, that i think i could comfortably fill two lifetimes at this point and not be at loose ends. when i'm not actually doing those things, i'm thinking about them. life is never boring if your brain is still busy at play.
