Almost to Retirement and Making the Tough Decisions

Almost to Retirement and Making the Tough Decisions

As one of the so-called "baby boomers", we are nearing retirement. In fact, there are three people in my office that I work with who are taking early retirement. Almost on a daily basis, I hear them talking about how excited they are to be retired, how much they will live off of, and what they will be doing.

I thought having an empty nest was quite a difficult adjustment. Now, faced with retirement, I can see that it takes a lot of planning and can get pretty complicated.

I'm not one of them! So, why do some of us spend money and our time to don eyeliner and other cosmetics.

Here are a few other Mormons who have paid the price to be successful in business or in entertainment, and are fairly well known throughout the world.
