Our decision...

We've been married since 2001. Since then Melanie has worked in public housing and Justin started a traditional wooden window making business.  In the last 5 years we have developing and selling window hardware and ancillaries through our website: http://smithrestorationsash.com/.

We decided that rather than waiting until "retirement age" we would "pretire" and travel while we have the opportunity.  There's no way to know what the future will bring and we decided that there is very real risk in "doing the responsible thing" and deferring our dream for another 15 years or so.

As Ronnie Lane used to say...
