The concept of the part-time retirement j*b arises frequently in these pages. Whether it's to keep active, help others, secure some benefits, build a bridge to SS or even just to have fun and score some beer money, there are lots of reasons in its favor.
However, I wonder how many ER folks, like several posters on a recent thread, put that in their plan but never launched on it? Why not? Do you ultimately reconsider that OMY in the career j*b is worth many in the part-time gig? Never find something so interesting it's worth commuting to again? Or maybe just don't get around to it because you're fully occupied in enjoying retirement?
Since I still see this as one of my own options, I would be interested in hearing what the PT was, why it was attractive, and why or why not you nixed it.
