Well as title states DW retired, June 30th, after 32 years in USAF and Air Guard, also FERS retiree.
Now we are downsizing of stuff we have collected over the 30+ years of marriage, we are going through each room and picking stuff up and determining if we need it, are emotional attached to it, or can it go. It is amazing how much stuff we have and how much we don't feel we need to keep. Garage sales coming up and whatever does not sell will go to charity.
Now the move, I know I have talked about a move to Ireland, but Ireland has changed the rules on retirees, you need 100k Euros of income per couple, saving in cash or liquid assets amounting to the purchase price of a home in Ireland, Med insurance, and not becoming a burden to the state. On top of that the cost of moving two dogs is around $10,000 by air.
Now with the violence and Brexit we are looking pretty hard as to whether we want to move to Europe still.
If we don't move to Europe we need to find another place to move too since we want to sell out multi level house for a ranch style (condo) to get rid of the stairs, yard work, and the snow.
Not really a question, just an update on our FIRED.
