Title: Retiring at 39 to Colorado.
Post by: fido dog on June 12, 2010, 12:46:00 AM
By retiring I mean I'll be doing something I enjoy for money and living a life of leisure. Living in the Pike National Forest will just fuel my appreciation for traditional bows and I get to tramp around in the woods too. I already have friends there. It's time to live the GOOD life.

Go and visit a buddy and come home with a job and place to live in Gods country. Does it get better? Friends are a good thing.   :)

Leisure isn't all it is cracked up to be. But a good rest here and there is good for the soul. Hope you enjoy it and keep us all updated.

You won't regret it.

I did the same thing when I was in my early twenties. Got sick of Nebraska and whitetails. Pretty much threw a dart at a Wyoming map. Landed on Sheridan. Quit my job, took everything that would fit in my truck and trailer, left the rest. Found a place a live, and found a job within a week. I have been in southern Wyo now for the last ten years working as a fed coyote hunter. I am fortunate.

I wish you the best.

Got to love how life turns out at times...

Enjoy and my the Good Lord Blees you always...

I envy you but shouldn't. I'm still in Nebraska to stay. As we get older our dreams are still real, but we tend to compromise. (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z314/Bowferd/006.jpg)

Congratulations Andrew ,

Pretty cool ,
It's always good to hear someone has a job ,And a specially one that they will enjoy ,In mind when work I hear a lot about guys losing their job .It's great news and a very good blessing to hear,And especially that you'll enjoy it .

And you're right about the blessings ,And someone said

"later in life we have a tendency to compromise "

Sometimes that happens ,But the blessings we receive in life can only come from one place.

You are definitely blessed
