Another month is gone by. I retired. I an supposed to be enjoying retirement. I saved a little bit of money and own my house, but Jesus, I can't live on that like I did when I was working. My wife wants to travel, she wants to buy stuff that we never had. I can't see us spending the money. Why can't she understand there aint no money coming now.

Sorry to disappoint her, she is just going to have let those dreams go by and sit down with me and figure out how we are going to make ends meet. I pretty much know I have to sell the house and move into something cheaper, make the car last another five years, but that only puts me at 70. Then what? We will barely have enough to scrounge by, not enough for a car.

I'm the ogre now, I have to leave the house and go sit at the mall so that I don't hear her complain. There just aint gonna be no trip.
