    We ate turkey for 6 days, that's 5 people. I even froze some and then threw it away. Cheap as chips as far as food goes.
    Bootiful.



    I prefer a retirement on the Bliar scale. You know, super yachts, private islands, that sort of thing. All the World's hyper crims are retiring in this manner.....

      As an early retirement strategy has anyone mentioned retiring abroad in a country where you will have greater spending power.

      I recall a former colleague who retired in Thailand and he was 50 or thereabouts. I suppose you'd get lots of sun, sea, cheap massages, food, etc

          I'm afraid that hints as to the reality of Sas's retirement can be found here. Urban Dictionary: assguru
