Hi all,
I'm happy to have found this site - so many great ideas and fun posts!
I'm from Vancouver BC and am planning to retire next year. I'm a little anxious about it - I'm terrified of becoming a couch potato, particularly since I can only take so much of the Maury "you're my baby daddy" type shows.
I've been kicking around an idea of semi-retirement. Work 2 weeks every month and use the next 2 weeks to travel (I have about 150 trips on my 'bucket list'). I would take January, July and August off and work the rest of the year half-time. I would take my pension and then go back as a consultant, which would actually net me about 15% more income.
Has anyone ever tried that? I'd love some feedback about how it worked (or didn't) for you.
