Restaurant business is picking up and its not even Thanksgiving yet. First quarter we were down 65%, second quarter down 15%, this quarter looks good. There was a 2 hour wait for a table Friday night and people were standing around ordering drinks waiting for a table. Seating capacity is only at 75% because of the China virus hoax. Thanks to all the dumocrat governor’s up north, tourist season is already wide open in south Florida.
Life is good live it while you can.

Things are going well for me and mine. Spent the last year exactly scrimping and saving to get out of debt and build savings. Wrapping up a property purchase soon, the home and land where I plan to live and eventually die. There's plenty of room on the land to build other domiciles for my extended family if the fit truly hits the shan. I don't like what I see coming, but I am quite happy about where I am financially.

for the last 12 years have been paying nearly 40% of that ex-wife (long sad story). She passed away last month so my take home income has increased significantly

We're doing okay on the farm/ranch game. Key is to pretend you are going broke and don't spend money unless you should.
Prices are down but my wife makes good money and we don't have kids. Very little debt and don't spend big money on 'recreational' items.
No new Tahoe and boat in the driveway. Don't go on trips or eat out. Easy to save that way.
Just try to buy stuff that helps makes me money. Fuuck depreciation on stupid chit.
My SIL and her two kids recently moved up here and it's been nice being able to help out and get them restarted on life.
I'd much rather spend money that way than get sucked into more random consumerism.

lots of home building going on Lots of home buying going on, no doubt. And prices haven't flinched in any of the places I've sold in. An NYC real estate attorney I used kept sending me this place. Guess I spent too long thinking and missed it! https://www.realtor.com/realestatea...t_Flushing_NY_11365_M34891-27454#photo16![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/sPFNJT4/Minor-Roof-Leak.png)

Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

if i can remain employed at my pharmacy job, I should be doing just fine and semi-retire at 60 (57.5 now).
In the pharmacy job market, that is not a surety, though.
If I cannot remain in my current job, I will still be ok living off my savings and doing fill in rph work along with my preaching gig.
Everyone needs a preaching gig . Rock on ..... Bob

My wife and I are comfortable now but we live simple lives with few wants. We both have pensions and over the years we put money away in a retirement account, which we have yet to touch. In 18 months we will take our Social Security benefits at 66. I already have some nice shotguns and shoot skeet/trap 3 times a week. We could afford a bigger/newer house and luxury cars/SUVs but like what we have and where we live.
