Semiretired2008
Recycles dryer sheets
Fidelity's, Vanguard's, and FireCalc say I am 100% past age 90. My own where I ran 11 scenarios says worst case scenario I will run out at age 82, but will still have Social Security for myself and my wife, my AF Retirement, and a small disability payment (plus another small <$100 pension for my wife).
I have been for the last 5 years Semi-Retired - working 18 - 20 hours a week and generally getting acclimated to retirement. As of June this year that has dried up and I guess now I am retired..., but
Friday, I got a call from an old client (kind of an old client) of a previous employer who wants me to come in and help them out (though another contractor). They want me Full Time and with the Work Statement they provided it would take a couple of years effort to complete. This client is not who I used to support - they are the client that I used to report as a shortfall every month while working for my client. They have been directed to get their act together - they want me to help...
I do not want to go back to work Full Time for two years (maybe more), but we have been doing a lot of renovations lately with our downsizing and planned moves and the money would easily replenish the pot that we have been pulling from and would allow us to add some more to it (larger buffer)...
I could take it and after 6 - 9 months just say I have had enough (renovation pot replenished), but that just does not seem fair - they would have to find someone and then that person would need time to get up to speed etc. etc. etc. They are not going to be able to find someone that can do it as easily or maybe even as efficiently as I can since I am the original discoverer and already know the business and a lot of the solutions - but TWO years...
What do ya'll think. They are a nice group of people, but again...
