Since the global pandemic started a few years ago, the internet became my primary source for shopping. Although I wasn’t much of a shopper anymore before this, anyway. I quit shopping for entertainment once we changed our money mindset. Which is something we had to do if we were going to catch-up our retirement savings!

However, we all still need to buy toilet paper, household essentials, and food. Thanks to the ongoing COVID variants, I continue to do as much of my shopping online as possible. I plan to knock out my list on Cyber Monday and save a ton of money! Keep reading for money saving strategies and deals.

What are you planning to do once you retire? Start traveling, take up golf, maybe plant an herb garden and make your own fragrant, flavorful herbal vinegars?

I’ll probably do a little bit of what I’ve always done, because I don’t believe in waiting to start my best life. I want to live it now!

That’s why my husband & I take so many trips, even though I’m still working to catch-up retirement savings. He likes to remind me of an old guy he worked with years ago, whose retirement plans included traveling to exotic places with his wife. Unfortunately, by the time this couple retired, their health was so poor that travel had become impossible.

So, my husband and I travel as much as we can right now, and I dabble in my favorite herbal hobbies. Herb gardening is a big one, along with making herbal crafts and gifts.
