I think the financial pressures are different when retirement is drawing near and we are also trying to provide for children.<BR/><BR/>I am in a similar boat! I am glad to find a blogger facing similar challenges and at a similar stage of life to me. I am in Australia so our finance/ taxation laws are different. For me the biggest saving will come from paying our mortgage fast & then focusing on superannuation. I have employer contributions and also contribute my money to super. Our laws recently changed to make contributing to super a very tax friendly option.<BR/><BR/>This is a long post, sorry, but I am thrilled to have found your blog. Looking forward to watching your progress.

You're just what I've been looking for - a personal financial view from a more 'mature' perspective. I'm debt free now (except mortgage), getting closer to retirement age, and looking in a new direction now. Great idea for a blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
