My last day will be February 28th. We then go to Mexico for 2-3 weeks...maybe longer right???
Looking forward to going into this with Spring on the horizon. Got travel plans ready and in my head thinking of all I want to do!
I am pretty excited. 3 Months ago I was wishy washy about it, but now I am convinced, I am ready.
I may re-enter the work force as a consultant as folks have already reached out asking. I am not going to immediately commit until I have a 2-3 months of retirement under my belt.
BIG CHANGES on the horizon and I am pumped for the change.

I've been retired for about three months, going on a trip to Arizona in March. I had thought that I might want to consult however the further in the taillights my work gets, the less I want to spend the time I have left for the benefit of someone else.
Get the Medicare, Social Security, 401k and pension stuff out of the way because it all takes time and is, at least for me, a source of frustration. The hardest thing for me so far is changing the mindset to spending instead of saving.
