Introduction

This is a personal blog.   Only my observations, my life, my successes and failures.  This is not an advice blog.

Many years ago I was given a writing regarding living your life on purpose for the next 5 years.  I will publish it tomorrow, not sure who wrote it but it written very well.  It makes you contemplate how your choices affect your life and really how not making choices affect your life.

My goal is to retire in 5 years from my birthday, September 27th.  I am 54 so retirement would be 60. approximately the time my husband will retire.  I am pitifully unprepared as are a majority of American's entering retirement.  This blog will document my attempts and trials to become prepared, the things I enjoy, goals, work, exercise, weight loss, debt repayment, to live my life fully for the next 5 years and simultaneously to be prepare for retirement.

This is a blog in progress as I am a work in progress.
