Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
A year and a half into ER and probably the biggest surprise is how little I think about the future. Certainly I still make some plans for travel and the like, but day to day I find myself thinking about little more than the pleasant mundane details of the day: where I'll go biking or hiking, what sort of entertainment or food to enjoy with the DW - and not much else, rinse and repeat the next day and the next...
The surprise is that before retirement I was such an obsessive planner. That seems to have fallen by the wayside. Finances are on autopilot. Thoughts of eventually relocating have drifted to the far back burner. I guess I'm not accomplishing much of anything, but that doesn't seem to bother me all that much anymore. This sort of pleasantly useless drift sound familiar to other ERers or have I just turned into some kind of weird zen hippy in my old age?
