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.
