Work half time = Play more 4 years ago

Went and gave notice at my job last week – found I could work for more money doing contract work if I’m willing to let go of a few benefits.

I was just up front with people when they interviewed and told them my goal was to have more free time – honesty & conviction always pay off in the end – at least it’s a good filter to help you work with people who are going to be real with you!

Also a friend hooked me up with a low cost catastrophic health insurance plan, so when I want to be covered, I can do it for cheap.

Also went and refinanced car at lower interest rate, am going to move to a simpler, cheaper place to live – basically just getting my crap together! It feels sooo good – all those vacations I could never take, the time I never had to do things, the inability to relax – all in the past.

The future looks bright and life is good!



Retire NOW - don't wait 'til you're about to croak! 4 years ago

Well, let’s face it – I’m screwed and will have to work until I need a walker to get around. No retirement, no savings, and social security won’t be there for me.

Sooo, what I want to do is get rid of all my debts so I can live on less and work half time so I can enjoy living now, while I’m young enough to appreciate it and fit enough to throw myself into activities!

So I’ll just think about it as retiring half a week, every week!

I bet it will make me live longer, too…
