Why We Like Retirement

If you are retired, you'll love this -- if not, you will one day. As it turns out many folks asked retirees lots of questions. Therefore, to assist everyone, I thought I'd give you both the most often asked questions and the answers:


Q. How many days in a week?
A. 6 Saturdays, 1 Sunday.
