Want to know if REI is right for me and my goals

[Cynthia Anderson]

My goals are to build a supplemental retirement income for my husband and I (we are a little bit behind) and to build an income producing career for myself so that my husband can pursue an alternative career and leave his $140000 yr job without much of a change in living standards. I am 43 years old with experience in business administration, customer service, merchandising and music. I currently work part time at a national home improvement retailer. I would eventually like to leave this position but still like to have time to pursue a local music career. Are these realistic goals for REI?
