53 years ago I was my first day at the auto factory.
Thought I was going to die. Wasn't in very good shape and wore cowboy boots. The plan was to work just long enough to pay for a move to California. Perhaps a year or so.
23 years ago today I retired from that job. Never had any children and had zero debt plus some cash squirreled away. Took my 30 year reduced pay retirement. Now I have tons of kids and grandkids, make that step kids and grand kids and I love em all. Still no debt and some bucks squirreled away.
I wouldn't change a thing.
