Happy Saturday! The week was pretty quiet. A couple of dental appointments and that's about it. That is a good thing. I did get to the gym on my regular days, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I could also walk about two miles most of the days this week. I skipped Wednesday because I had to go to the dentist. This morning I walked four miles. Not too bad.
eat portioned controlled, whole foods. We don't eat any processed foods. That is a Saturday thing.
The diet change was necessary for both of us. My husband is having health issues and I was and still am fat. But we are doing much better with all the things. My weight is slowly coming off. Slow is the keyword. I count myself very lucky as I do not have to take any prescription medications. My husband is slowly coming off of most of his meds.
I am a bit bored in retirement, so I have applied to a few local places for a part-time job. Target has rejected me 3 times and Chic Fil A has rejected me twice lol. I will keep trying. I just submitted an application to Starbucks. We will see how that goes. I may try Disney again. But I really don't want to drive that far lol. I do have employment gaps so maybe they can determine my age by the info and maybe they don't want the liability of an older employee. I will keep trying and let you know!
There is also a home for sale in the neighborhood behind us. We have been eyeballing it to buy as a rental. Again, do we need to do that as a couple in their 60s? It is on a side street, with a level driveway, and yard. Around here, there are lots of little hills and valleys, and finding a level driveway is kinda rare. Maybe since I actually put it out there, the desire will go away. But then again, I may have to call my realtor next week. Again, I will keep you posted.
Would you add a rental to your investment portfolio in your 60s?
Enjoy your weekend!
I am 78 and would add a rental. But, maybe I am too optimistic.
ReplyDeleteWe save money by coming home and having our own Cokes. Or, we take a Coke with us if we are eating in the car. Plus, water with a meal is okay with us.
When I needed a job years ago, I went to KFC where they told me they were only hiring felons. It seemed there was some program for felons that would pay KFC. Weird. Don't give up. Where did you work before?
Hi Linda, I am a retired ultrasound technologist. I also taught as an adjunct in the Ultrasound program at the local college. Thanks so much for your response. I appreciate it.
