Today, I looked at my calendar and realized that in 400 short days I will be retiring! 400 days! Wow!
Now the real work begins. I have a lot to accomplish in 400 days. I have three goals to achieve before I walk away from a full-time job. First, I need to get healthier. Yeah, some of that means I need to lose weight; but, it’s more than that. I need to get in shape so I can explore all the places I plan to visit. Second, I need to budget, budget, budget. Well, I’ve had a budget for a while, but now I need to stick to it. This has been made somewhat complicated by the fact that for the past few months, I’ve had two extra mouths to feed. And last, I need to get rid of a lot of crap. Mine and my parents’. Hopefully, by this time next week, I can begin resolving the issue of getting rid of my parents’ stuff. Fingers crossed, my dad’s estate court date has been set.
Over the next year plus, I will be documenting my successes towards reaching the three goals above. Check back periodically to see how I’m doing.
I’ll be keeping tabs! You inspire me to start working on some of my retirement goals. Number one…get started!
woohoo…. you can do it!
Thanks for the pep talk!
