Rich_in_Tampa ESRs!

[WhoDaresWins]

Holy Cow! What a stunner! Congratulations. It sounds like a perfect arrangement and quite an exciting change, too.

Most excellent! That's a really cool semi for your ER, too. Just out of curiosity, let us know when that 5 day gig starts feeling like w*rk. That will be a true sign of being all the way into the FIREd mindset.

That's what I think! How long did Martha last semi-ER? A year?

Nevertheless, this is a HUGE step for Rich!

[tmm99]

Sounds like the final countdown has started. Congratulations!

True enough but I have other agendas: son will make decision about staying in San Francisco in about a year. Depending on where he settles, we may relocate. So barring any really unpleasant surprises, that would be a good time for me to reassess the consulting thing.

But we'll just see how it unfolds. What do I care -- I'll be retired .

Yes, we want a countdown!! How many days until your ESR?

Too many to change my sig every day for the next 3 and a half months .

Too many to change my sig every day for the next 3 and a half months .

I empathize with that sentiment I finally decided to go on a day to day countdown once it got below 50

How about linking an automated one? Countdown Clocks for Websites

Well, you could just give us an update once a month instead of once a day... Or not! As you please, of course.

LOOK AT YOU!!! 43 DAYS!!!

Congrats Rich, sounds like an absolutely fantastic plan...best of everything. A little work as something you enjoy, I'm guessing a nice income that probably more than covers your needs, ability to see family more often but not have them hanging around all the time, and PLENTY of time to RV. Wow, what more could one ask for! Good on you!

Congrats Rich, enjoy and good luck.

 

[bbbamI]

I hate to hear it. You will be bored out of your mind. In a nut shell....retirement sucks. Now, time for another nap.

Here's my version....

 

[BunsGettingFirm]

Since I just push paper, I won't miss it when I eventually go.

Who will keep the paper warm at night?

Congrats, Rich!

 

[chinaco]

Congrats!

Time to turn the page to the next chapter in life. That area of the country (Vegas) has some beautiful places to visit... and you should have time to do so and enjoy life at a more leisurely pace.

It is great when a plan finally comes together and becomes reality.

Congratulations + enjoy!

Yeah, just ask Tiger.

I'm just beginning to realize that. A 4 hour radius picks up dozens of major parks including Red Rock, Lake Mead, Death Valley, Bryce, Zion, Glen Canyon, Grand Canyon to name a few.

 

[Moemg]

Being a medical person , I racked my brain at what type of part time job Rich would be doing in Vegas and then it hit me . Rich has been hired to certify the new Vegas waitresses have a clean bill of health before Tiger visits .

Rich, congrats on your plan and well-deserved break. I truly hope that you'll continue to post on this mb during your exciting transition (if you can find time).

 

[FinanceDude]

Not too often but we just spent some time with our MKE friends out in California and vowed to make a visit, maybe as part of an RV trip or perhaps a Summerfest weekend.

If you get up this way, let me know. Summerfest is a blast.........

I heard Rich was going to be the "senior medical advisor" to all the showgirls in the Vegas area..........

Don't forget the golf clubs. The Lake Henderson area has some NICE courses........

Congratulations on having a well-thought-out plan come together. Ya gotta love it when that happens!
