You will find the fabric you have bought might not be what you want when you finally retire. But I would be aggressive about saving that money only for quilting. I know from experience that when you see something on sale or cute it's hard to pass it by, but you could be a lot happier in the long run. I hope you have a great time in retirement.
What terrific advice, KSellers!!
I have at least 10 years before I can retire - hubby retired a few months ago, and I'm seeing how a person's goals/attitude/interests/mindset changes without the "job" mentality. I even got to (sort of) experience how it might be when we're both retired, when I got laid off from work in March. However, I started my new job this week, and both hubby and the Chihuahua are showing signs of "Mama" withdrawal... they both meet me at the door with hugs, kisses and wiggles of joy.
