Bucket Lists

Last week I was shopping at Walmart and I had the honor of being checked out by this lovely women. After chatting with her she told that she was blessed to have just celebrated her seventy-sixth birthday. Now me being me, I asked her why in the world was she working at this age of her life. She informed me that she needed the extra income to make ends meet at the end of the month. As I walked away I couldn't help but wonder if this was on her 'bucket list'.
I can't honestly believe that this is something that she wanted to do before she left this life. Every day I add something new to my bucket list and believe me working at Walmart after retirement age is definitely NOT on my list.
Watching this retirement age woman working a cash register motivated me even more to get my online businesses not only running, but also profitable. At that age I want my money to be working for me, not me working for my money. I refuse to settle for a J(ust) O(ver) B(roke). My list includes traveling, taking up golf, learning to fly a single engine plane, just to name a few. By the time I reach retirement age, I'll have more years behind me than in front of me and I mean to enjoy every last one of them.
What's on your bucket list?
