Never would I have seen a rose so beautiful...Had I not met you. Stay the course and always keep your dreams close to your heart….Speedy
Making our dreams come true
What is your dream and how can you make it come true. Our dream has always been to live in an RV and travel. See the country and explore places we have never been. In some ways we are doing that now…but as you know Sherri is having to work a while longer to reach our goal of safety. I have been traveling along with her while she worked so hard to get enough saved up to pay for her insurance until she could retire. This is when I got to thinking that if I were to go to work with her and put my earnings in the pot she could travel so much sooner. What was I thinking. I have come to the decision to hire on at the same company she works at and help her reach her goal.
Yes you read me correctly. I have plans on doing some resets with the same crew Sherri is working for. I have given this a lot of thought and have come to the conclusion that if we do this a while that we can put together enough to allow Sherri to quit work and travel. We would be working 3 to 4 days a week…much the same as work camping but we would be going to different places and seeing different things. Work camping would confine us to one location and we would still have to put in about the same amount of hours. I see this as a win win for us and a way to get on the road that much sooner.
Many of the Dreamers out there are already doing this. Some work 5 to 6 months and then move on and some work 3 months then go somewhere else and work 3 months and so on. In much the same way we will work the same amount of hours but will do it in different towns and States. We should not have to do this very long. With the both of us working we will reach our goal in a shorter period of time. Then we can strike out and enjoy our freedom.
Not having insurance in this day and time is a scary thought. I know you can understand our feeling on this. Really noting will change as far as our travels and adventures. I will, however be spending some time working but the thought of helping Sherri will make that not so much a chore.
The point I am trying to get across to anyone that might read this…is; Don’t think you have to go full force into traveling. There are those out there that need a boost to get them over the edge before they can cut all the ties. Look at all the options before you make a decision on how when and where to fulltime. You don’t have to be independently wealthy to live your dream you just have to be able to dream….

Good for you!
Sounds like a good plan, Speedy - good luck to the both of you. It sounds like it might be a great, new adventure! When I retired, friends used to ask me if I was going to go into computer consulting. Not a chance I said, if I ever work again it'll be 'flipping pizzas'. So far, I haven't had to do that but you might find you really like this new job compared to what you used to do! I sure hope Sherri is going to be the boss, though!
Great plan! Twice as fast!
Sounds like a good planto us. Sometimes I dream of Sandy and I doing this instead of Canton. That way we might get alittle better chance of more traveling.
Get R Done! Faster is always better,never know what is around the next curve in the road. Hugs to you both.

sounds like a good plan....and loved the photo!
I agree this is a win-win situation. I would do it in a heartbeat if I could find something like that or some sort of work I could do from home.
Joe, all I got to say is...
...you rock!
Hopefully this will speed things up a little as far as moving toward both of you fulltiming.
The roses are absolutely beautiful...
...both of them. ;)

Welcome back to the ranks of the gainfully employed. We can always use more taxpayers out there, especially now. But I am hoping you get to re-retire soon and this time drag Sherri along with you. Beautiful picture of a beautiful lady and the flower ain't bad either.
You and Sherri have good heads on your shoulders. Sounds like a plan.

I'm in agreement with all the above posters. A very considerate move on your part. I think the key at this stage of the game is being able to do something you like while making your dream a reality. Very important. And ya know, it's like JB said...."and the flower ain't bad either:))"
What a gorgeous photo of Sherri and the rose. I too agree. I just hope you don't go one direction and her another where you'll be separated. (Unless that's the REAL plan). Ya gotta do what ya gotta do to make your dream come true.
Hi Speedy and Sherri,
I remember you saying that you were going to do re-sets with Sherri a while ago, so this is not news to me.
Just think, you can re-retire and then both just leisurely travel.
Sounds like plan to me.

Sounds like you both have giving this a lot of thought. We certainly understand the need for insurance. Getting to your goals twice as fast makes since to me. Good Luck! Can't wait to see you somewhere in time down the road.
