This is really funny!!! biggrin I wish we really have 6 saturdays and 1 sunday, but it seems pretty tiring too. I experienced not having work for how many months. Doing nothing is more tiring than doing a lot of things. It's ironic. Anyway, I'd like to share that I am preparing a lot for my retirement so that when that comes I have financial security, and I don't have to worry much about my expenses. Planning for retirement is a tricky proposition that is not one of the most user friendly game in town. Yet it is vitally important for those of us who do not want to depend with Social Security in our waning years. Thanks to Smart Money, here are the top five reasons why a Roth IRA could be just what the retirement doctor ordered.
1. Make tax-free withdrawals upon retirement with a Roth IRA
2. Social Security wont enable you to maintain your standard of living
3. Roth IRA beats 401k mutual funds
4. Flexibility is always nice
5. Diversity in numbers

Well hello, and welcome to Australia and the Grey Nomads.
Does your retirement plan include a trip to Oz?
I'm guessing you've read some of the threads on this forum in the other topics.
You gotta be here. Cheers.
