Hey dory, maybe retiring wasn't such a good idea, if it eliminated all of your spare time.

The problem with spare time is that
you only have it when you have nothing to do :

Well, I do mostly nothing all day and I am left with very little spare time to do nothing else.

This is the post of the Year! - While it is funny, it is also very true. I am currently very worn out from from traveling and fishing the last two weeks and tomorrow I have to start packing to go on "vacation" to Glacier Park. - Maybe I can get my wife to drive, so I can get some sleep!

I agree! A classic!

Just curious if anyone has looked at this calculator

http://www.gummy-stuff.org/sensible_withdrawals.htm

Seems very interesting to me for 2 reasons:

it has the ability to adjust withdrawals based on portfolio performance in a rational way

it provides more money when younger and tapers off when older, which seems to make sense.
