Life One Week to Retirement

Congratulations and after 48 years, it sure sounds like you more than deserve it!

The only advice I have heard from nearly ALL my retired friends is be careful of the Home Depot addiction.

You have all this time, you see a few minor things you want to update, upgrade or fix at your house and you head to Home Depot. It starts innocent enough and you're there maybe once every 10-14 days and don't spend too much. Suddenly you are there every other day and you are racking up $1,000 visits like water.

Before you realize it, everyone in the store knows you on a first name basis, you've been named Customer of the Month and Visa card just upped your credit limit to $50,000.
