Pointless Discussion Vol.6

Let's say you're able to retire right now, with a substantial retirement plan giving you a nice income for years to come.

Do you continue to work and forget the retirement ?
Do you have cool plans for your time ?
Projects ?
Travel ?
Be lazy around the house ?

What would you be doing if you were given retirement now ?

If I could retire right now, I'd take it.  Well, I'd retire from secular work altogether.  I'd continue working in the ministry because that's just what I love to do.  Also, I'd keep making music just because I could.  Lastly, I'd geocache as often as I could stand it.

I'd retire from my day job, work on music and take my wife traveling.

I would continue to work at least part-time. I'm in a situation right now where I am not at all certain my small company could survive without the revenue I bring in.

But if I had the money I would travel with my lovely wife.

If I could retire now I'd open my own Bistro. Life long dream of mine! I have a really clever name for it too: Mackenzie's Bistro!

I thought it would be Cheese 'N' More or Cheezy Mack's. 

If we had enough to cover everything (including insurance), we'd probably quit work and do a lot of traveling - to England, Germany, Belgium, Russia, Scotland and more.

How about Mackenzie's House Of Cheese or perhaps Mackenzie's Palace?

For a while I would cut my work days down to 3 days mainly to keep certain benefits as well as insurance. I would look for a home to move to as I would not live in an apartment the rest of my life. When taking vacation from those 3 days I would vacation/travel to places I would love to visit. Who knows,one of those travel sites might inspire me to move there. Eventually I would completely retire and live at home but not too soon.

I'd keep doing what i'm doing now, helping troubled teen boys. Someday i'd love to live on the coast in the NW and we used to dream of owning a coffee shop there but now there are like a million on the NW coast.

Ummm maybe Mack & Cheese Bistro?

I want to widen my customer base

So serve fattening food.  

I would serve a little bit of everything and yes there will be plenty of cheese. People will expect it lol!

I'm already wide enough, thank you very much.

I would travel the country, and just for fun, I would go to every Disciple show and see how many nights I could go unnoticed before one of the band members says something.

Now that would be funny

That's what I'd want to do. Besides finally finishing all the projects I have on my plate, I would start hitting concerts again like I did back in my 20s.

I'd set up a regular weekly exercise regimen (cuz I'd have the time and wouldn't be tired all the time like now).. and eventually begin to build more muscle.

I'd watch more movies and read more.

And most importantly, I'd get back into my previous personal ministry the Lord blessed me with in my 20s (I called it Cornerstone Ministries). I had so much fulfillment putting together packets and personalized information for those stuck in cults or those just getting into a cult -who questioned whether they were in "the Truth" or not.
I used to mail out anonymous unmarked packets of photocopies from their own cult's publications for them to make their own decisions. I had a great response and several requests for packets. That's when I used to conduct seminars on the cults and how to talk to them. At the seminars, I would make available for free all the resources I compiled. Some 20 years later I still meet up with people who were at the seminars and they tell me they still have the material I gave them, and they've been able to use it.. so fulfilling to see God working through this difficult child of His. There's nothing like it.
So that's what I would love to do a lot more of if I were to retire now.

It would be a bad idea if I retired right now.

At least wait until your done with school.
