The Class of 2011 is about to stand, and the podium is in site!
As this year is about to close, DH and myself are very much aware of how life changing 2011 will be. I downsized my businesses and am now working just a part-time/hobby job out of our home. DH will retire mid April. We have contemplated just how very different 2011 will be. I think the biggest adjustment for us, at least initially will be no regular paycheck!
I also think that I decided to keep my part-time business because I suspect DH will have to make a big adjustment not having a full-time job. Besides, it gives us some backup income.
We have been living off of our planned retirement income for the past 3 years, so I feel comfortable with that. I have to admit to some nervousness, but mostly excitement. 2011--bring it on!
