Need less

So, the first thing I did when I got up this morning was turn on my computer and go to the retirement calculator to estimate my annuity. I hadn't done that in at least a month! What was I thinking? That my pay had suddenly increased overnight? It didn't. Then we had our usual Sunday breakfast with friends and one of them is seriously thinking of retiring this year. OK, so maybe it's not a bad idea. Of course he has lots of money in silver, which keeps going up in value, and he is not as needy as I am. I need to learn not to need so much. I am getting better, but maybe that is what I should concentrate on, rather than my annuity.
