If you're well beyond about 30 years old and haven't figured retirement out then you might want to play the lottery or make plans to rob a bank.

My biggest obstacle to success is distraction. I go out of my way to try and focus on what makes me $$$ and not let new hobbies or shiny things distract me. If I can suffer through 4 more years of undistracted work I should be more less set for life assuming no calamities happen.

Not a new skill, but improve on my mole trapping skill, never too old to learn new things about trapping any animal.

I have been thinking about taking a black smithing class. have to see if I get to it this year.

looking like it might be a busy year. with camping , cooking , fishing and hunting.

trapping will probably stay the same , just trapping around poultry pens.
