I read alot here about folks retiring from their job in the.. __fill in the blanks__ and implementing a plan to do something entirely different with their lives. Buy a farm, move abroad, or some other entirely unaccustomed lifestyle.
I'm way too chicken to do that, though I envy those who pull it off. In the back of my mind, I wonder how many actually embrace their new identities long-term versus those who slilp back into some modified version of the familiar life-long pattern.
I'm not talking about a post-retirement extended travel plan or some amusing new fun part-time job, etc. I'm talking about big-time uprooting. Any stories about successes or failures? Tips for success or warnings?
