I share this thread only to provide my perspective and experiences with my desires in the last quarter of my life. When I started out in the corporate world with two degrees I went through three stages. Stage 1 climb as high as I could while accumulating assets such as a 100+ acre farm paid off in addition to my home while paying for two kids college. 2. Family tradgety strikes empty nestor but need a change in life with assets paid for kids on their own with six figures in cash each to start their lives. 3. Sudden realization in last quarter of life that experiences not assets are what is most important to me in life enter Africa and all of you…let’s not forget the Rigby bug that bit me, lol thanks @franzfmdavis!!! I share this given I so love reading our great members many threads of where they are that bring back such precious memories!!!
