The occasional coffee with friends at the club is my favorite brew! But the daily brew at home is the pot of hot water, turned on by Alexa before I get out of bed, with a little shake of Folgers instant coffee into my cup. Mmm good, and instantly I’m off to working on wordle and daily crosswords.

We packed up and moved to Florida 2 weeks after retirement. So the realization came very quickly for us. But after arriving in Florida and settling in we started exploring Florida nearly everyday. Which actually did seem like a vacation. I explored and had great time for over a year, and then...

I'm Retired!! Do what I want, when I want, Where I want!
Go to bed at different times 9pm, 10pm, 12am When I want! But I feel it's important to get 8 hrs sleep. And it feels good! So depending on what time I go to bed, I get up 8hrs later. Prefer to get up by 6am. So usually in bed around 10pm

Retired just Right!! Wife was 55 and I was barely 56 when we retired two weeks apart. Packed up and moved to Florida 2 weeks later from Ohio. Everyone wonders how we did it. We lived within our means for years, unlike our friends. We saved and calculated our money, so that we could retire early...
Ft. Lauderdale is great place to visit for few days. Take the water taxi for the day. It takes you all the hot spots, get off and on, as you want. They narrate the rides along the way. Wonderful mansions and yachts to see and hear about. Take the water taxi all the way to Hollwood beach. Fun...
