Monday's Retirement Plans

Every two months I round up at least three garbage bags of stuff and give it to the Canadian Diabetes Association when they call for donations. I don't know where the stuff comes from. We don't seem to buy bags of possessions that aren't edible, yet every couple of months there is junk to give away. And still we're drowning in it. I'm tired of picking stuff up off the floor. When I retire I am getting rid of all our possessions and buying an RV. I will spend my life in warm climates -- assuming there is still gasoline for personal use vehicles in the year 2030. And also assuming my husband is good with these plans. And also assuming there is still winter anywhere and the need for going south still exists. Should global warming bring year-round summer to Canada, then we're moving into a tent. We'll own two sets of clothes. Who cares what you look like when you're old, right? Cooking will be easy, with just two pots and limited options on the campfire. Dessert will be toasted marshmallows or nothing. Life will be grand.
