Retire Like a Boss Using a Reverse Mortgage

What do you want to do when you retire? Spend time doing the things you love the most? Of course, we all love the good life. No one wants to retire broke. We want to afford the finest things in life even when we are no longer in the job market. For some, retirement is a period they yearn for, while others may consider it a nightmare because of one reason – money. We can’t live the post-retirement lifestyle we dream of if there is no financial security. Taking a trip from Ohio to Bangkok on tourism requires cash, and if you don’t have it, you’ll remain stuck in Ohio.

We have made this recipe a few times and love it. These cookies also known as skillet cookies or Pizookie are prepared and cooked on the stove  in low heat for 20 minutes.
