I’m Knocking on the Door

I’m so close to retirement, I can almost taste it. I’ve had some great careers. I’ve saved and invested well. I’ve recently taken a step back at my current job and in a much slower role. I find myself having so much more free time. I’ve also been looking at my budget/ cash flow.

How have those who have been here before handled the extra time and less cash?

I’m sure I’ll manage, but I do have to scale back about 40%.

TIA

Sell the house, buy a sailboat, travel the world. Lots of solar power, anchor out to avoid high moorage fees. Fish for dinner. Someplace warm. Find a young person or two to live on the boat with you.. naked. :)

If you have the money, rent the house out instead, then you have income to support your boating expenses. Hire a diver to scrape the bottom every 2 months. Haul out to repaint hull once per year.

@SoftIceCream Definitely a way to go.

I didn't get to enjoy it as planned. The effing pandemic started the same month I left my last job. Then when things became more safe my girlfriend of 11 years passed. I'm doing what I have left alone and not well health wise.
