(3,557 posts)My kids are 2 and 4 years old. When they grow up, I don't know if my wife is going to stick around, but I'll be 50ish by then. 50 isn't that old. I've been thinking that I'd like to drop out of the world and go to some dirt-poor developing country and spend the rest of my years trying to make a difference. I'm not exactly a people person, but I have a big heart and I'd love to help bring potable water to some impoverished community or build a shelter for battered girls, or something raw and purely selfless like that.
I get a decent disability payment from the VA for a nifty 70% disability rating they gave me for PTSD that is worth about $1,500 a month. That money would certainly go pretty far in a piss-poor developing country and I could make a huge difference in the lives of people most Americans forget about.
But that is just a dream at the moment. I've got nearly 20 years to figure the next part of my life out.
