RETIREMENT ROAD TOUR #1

[AZVAJKU]

Drove up to Lake Tahoe, it was cloudy and cool.

 

[AZVAJKU]

Stopped at a store to look around.


Wow! Look at this!




This is new, I guess I’ll need to try one.




A few tasty beverages for Shaver Lake




I wonder if I have enough?

I’m a little jealous. But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for retirement

 

[Disciple Off Road]

Heck yeah! Excited to see you guys tomorrow.

It might be an oncoming train!

 

[JT@623]

It might be an oncoming train!

If it is I’m jumping in front of it

There were many times where I thought I’d never make it to retirement. I’m still amazed I did.

If I might offer one recommendation- Have a plan for what you do next and lay the groundwork for that plan ahead of time. It doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive but definitely have a plan. Lots of guys I worked with never had a plan and paid the price- or their plan was: not working and that’s it.

Every human needs social, mental, and physical stimulus at a minimum to be healthy and if you don’t get those things in your retirement you’ll be in big trouble.

I thought that’s what the alcohol was for

It's so easy to drink all the time. I'm glad Clay has figured out how to drink all the time outside the home with others.

Alcohol is an important part of the plan.

I hate to admit this but I drink less now than I did working, especially when I was OCONUS.

Every location had a bar or Team Room and a few drinks after the work was over was customary- and we worked 7-days a week for the several month duration of a trip. In some locations we actually brewed our own beer and/or had booze flown in at taxpayer expense. Oh yeah, thanks everybody, greatly appreciated!

It is amazing on how much retirement wisdom can be gained in just over a month of retirement!

It looks like the concrete plan is working for you.
