Filthy Harry, SASS #24924 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Congrats, I pulled the plug last May and am just getting back to shooting regularly. I had to work Saturdays, so my local clubs 2 monthly matches were a mile away and I drove by them to get to work. Retirement is better. Enjoy, enjoy.
Blackey Cole Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Retirement means changes I retired 1mar 2002 from the usaf and it was my only retirement as I had several aliments that prevented a second career. I learned that you don't have to leave the homestead everyday that if you slow down on the miles driven a month, cut out the daily lunches out, and the clothes needed for work that retirement can be very inexpensive. Then I found CAS and the costs went up eventually I aquired more than enough guns to shoot any category in sass that the wilm would hit me. Then it just the ammo and match fees plus transportation costs. Wider you are ahead of me there. You've got the guns, you know about the ammo and match expenses. You also have your sideline income and if you wanted you could make the matches a business expense for taxes. Welcome to the do what you want crowd.
