Hi,
Just joined the board after reading a lot of "good stuff" over the last few months.
My wife /I are planning on "retiring" (meaning having to get up every day, to earn a salary) sometime in the next 97 weeks.
I'll be reading this board with interest, not from the discussions on "retirement $$$ resources", but from a question of "what's next" (for the next 1/3rd of our life)?
My wife will not have a problem. She keeps busy with her dogs (aka "fur kids" - since we will not have grandchildren) and planning her next vacation (more on that later).
For me, the situation is a bit different. Starting working at age 14 (another story) and not really developing a network of friends/hobbies. That is where I'll be interested in developing a "plan" for what I want to do after I leave the workforce (no, I do not want to continue to work - at least at what I'm currently doing).
Hope to have some meaningful dialogue as we go on....
