Plans for early retirement, paying off home get some fine-tuning
The north Clairemont resident says her plan is to start paying more each month on her $1,200 mortgage so she’ll be left with only a few, less costly, living expenses to cover when she retires in five years. She’ll also be left with the time and freedom to pursue a personal goal of owning a dog-wash business.
Although Regan, 50, doesn’t yet have all the details worked out on how she’ll begin her second career, she says she’s positive that retirement after 20 years as a human resources assistant is just around the corner.
“I love where I work. It’s enabled me to live comfortably and start saving for my dreams,” she said. “I’m just ready to do more with my life. I want the time to do some volunteer work, and I want to investigate opening my own business. I’m ready for new adventures.”
