Greetings All,
DW has been monitoring this site for some time and has performed much of the leg work to make sure we have the goods to finally take the plunge. From my handle, I enjoy reading e-books, all aspects of wine (tasting, touring, exploring, drinking, enjoying) and plan to spend more time tinkering around the house and with my Harley and my scooter.
I am 50 years old and tomorrow is the day I turn in my notice, with my last day scheduled for the end of July. Like many of the posters here, I am tired of the rat race, caring about stop light charts and metrics. We have secured our new health care coverage and are looking forward to life after work.
4 more years would have had me eligible for limited pension benefits, but the contnued stress and the aggravation, just don't justify the modest benefits. We have not received any huge stock option that we are able to cashout, but have lived frugally and saved religiously. We still have three more years to fund only child through college, but have squirreled enough away for this as well.
So tomorrow starts a new path on a road not yet travelled. I am sure there are blind corners and bumps ahead, but the wind in your face and the sights and smells of the open road make it a journey worth taking.
So please be kind to the newbie as we embark on this road and I look forward to posting such scintillating exploits as what I did today (nap, went to Buckies, worked out, NOTHING - because I can!)
