Yes congratulations to everyone!! Only 3 months in and loving every single minute of life! Used to feel unhappy/sick to my stomach Sunday lunch through to Wednesday but those are my favorite days now. I was wishing my days away at work.. Helping DW train for London Marathon, landscape...

We live in Cowes on the IOW, the island is a bit like the mainland UK circa mid 1990’s when it seemed like people used to be more happy [emoji4] There is an extremely reliable bus service all over the island from Ryde bus station if you choose to catch the hovercraft over from Portsmouth. We...

A big +1 to that!! Happy 3 week anniversary to both of us!! A little weird, life has switched into the next chapter very easily. Almost like the previous one never happened….[emoji4] We sat in empty bars twice this week, one rooftop and one fireside, everyone else was at work and we just sat...

That about sums it up perfectly Street!

That’s excellent!! Well done!! Just received my final W2 paycheck so that’s it, on my own from here!! Happy days [emoji4]

Thanks!! [emoji4] Nicely settled in after one week. Just watched a beautiful sunset and work feels like a million miles away in the distant past, baseline stress knots in the abdomen I was carrying are gone too. Congrats to Dean56!!!

For all the 2022 contingent… [emoji4][emoji322]

Love it!! Yes half marathon training will be so much easier when not “crammed in” to a busy work schedule. This is what it’s all about [emoji4]

Happy notice day for Thursday!! [emoji4]

Ok had the one-on-one and still feels weird. The department I work for treats folk with respect which is 180 degrees counter to the company culture as a whole. This was part of the whole conversation, he has actually been respectful, zero micromanagement with me per his nature and habitually...

One month notice is in!! Now on official countdown. Just got a big pay raise last week and my one-on-one with my boss is tomorrow. I asked if we still have anything to talk about? He said we do…so…🤷*♂️ This has been emotionally weird tbh, mixture of guilt due to everyone being so nice and...

Congratulations!! Quitting is so much harder when you get along well with your Manager and colleagues, everyone is pretty cool here too but I miss freedom more.

Well done!

Getting too impatient and life’s too short so brought the exit date forward to September 9th…flights rebooked and now have a 9 hour layover in New York. Nice place to leave from…[emoji112][emoji112] Delta app has a “days until check-in” feature which nicely takes care of my work-finish...

I don’t mind being in Savannah, it’s just that leaving here means I’m retired… so in that respect I can’t wait to leave!! [emoji23]

Congratulations!!

Preferred stocks:- Sniffing around all the ABR's, TWO's, NRZ's, CIM's, ARR's etc. Still way too early to dive all in just yet but would love to lock in a few more 8%+ yields, particularly some monthly's to close the year out.. YMMV

Used to think I was in the 72t SEPP camp but no longer too sure it really works for my case. My Traditional and Roth accounts consist of Dividend and Preferred stocks and I only want to access their dividends, as opposed to killing the geese that are laying the golden eggs. The geese need to...

Sounds all too familiar..

Did 60’s for about 12 years all told, now doing 40”s M-T 10 hour days. This was meant to “feel” retired due to the 3 days off and Savannah winter sun. . I was just being delusional though, work is work retired is retired. I finally wised up to that fact. Been here done this. At least there are...

You are correct, copy and paste is the way. That joy feeling is the best!

At the end of our trench we dug one last large 3-4 ft deep hole and buried a homer bucket drilled with 1 inch random holes all over it, then filled the bucket with 1 inch stone and outside it's perimeter and base to a thickness of about 6 inches. We were able to grass over the top of it and it...

Agree - strict Vegan diet - not for the self-righteous bragging on social media nor saving the earth reasons. Our backgrounds are very similar, exercise choices are pretty much the same and my high Stage 1 Hypertension wasn't budging no matter what I did, it was just getting slowly worse with...

After two unretire gigs I think I'm ready to not do this work thing anymore. The way I persuaded myself to go back twice was the freedom of choice/short contract argument and that I had never done X type of work in my career before or that I would work for the same company but in a better...
