on the path 7 - watch this space

I'm afraid to say this ... only 4 days to go until FIRE ... I don't think I really believe it. I think someone will rush into my office and say "You are too valuable to leave; we will raise your salary to $220K." I can honestly say I would still leave. I can not think of a dollar amount that would compel me to stay. That is how precious I now believe life is.

Four days! Man, I thought I would retire before you. Guess not.

So are you doing any actual work? Avoiding or looking forward to parties?

Martha, what's stopping you? I thought you were good to go at any time.
You feathering the nest or just can't give up the work?
What are you waiting for?

I thought you would have been retired and on the road by now.

I have found the part time work nice.  I do the work I enjoy and give away what I don't like. The money beats any other part time job I could think of.  I am gone a lot.   Work an average of 60 to 80 hours a month.  So I have been sticking around.

Sorry Dex for the hijack.

I am glad that you are able to let go.

Martha,
I'm there a few hours every day to train my replacement. I'll post my thoughts on Friday.

Congrats, Dex. Enjoy.

Martha, what have you found to be about the right amount of part time to give you a good balance?
