so we are in the same situation..

I too could "do more" (work overtime), to kick up a little more cash.

But how do we ever "retire"?

I've given up on the idea and only hope that my illness allows me to work as long as possible. Grace on earth and a peaceful death. That is what I'm shooting for.

I really don't want to be a burden to my nephew when I'm older; that is my biggest fear in life.
