To all my dear friends here on the SSWT forum I would like to share this with you all -

As of 12/01/2009 I will officially be RETIRING from my full time day job of 37 years! Not bad considering I'm 54 years young. Full pension, full medical/prescriptions and a 25K IRA. Not exactly a golden parachute but at least I won't crash.

Now I'm ready to go absolutely crazy with this second career and once the holidays are done I should have my roadmap in place and will be gearing up for 2K10!
My goal, since I'll already be getting a nice check every month, is to start building a true empire. A legacy I can leave to my kids, grandkids, and wife. I've worked all my life earning millions for a company, now it's time to earn mine!

(I am a realist though so I'll settle for a few extra bucks a month to play golf with.)
I really owe a lot to this forum and any suggestions as how I can succeed will be warmly embraced.

My immediate plans when the money starts rolling in;
1) join the Elite Members group
2) Rosalind Gardners book
3) ????

(I'm also asking Santa for these 2 goodies!)

I am thankful for - this great community that Lynn has created.
