I can almost see the end. Its next year.
I just bought my retirement truck.
We will make the move to our new/more moderate climate LCOL area home later this year. I will commute back to w*rk and keep a small apartment in the city until my obligations are over in 2020.
The finances are all in order. I went with a bond tent strategy to deal with sequence risks. Its actually paying off since I bought a lot over the last year and they've been going up with the drop in rates. I managed a small gain in 2018 in spite of everything.
From here I am going to dollar cost average my interest, dividends and new money back into more equites to get to my long term AA.
The big question mark is health insurance. We'll have coverage until the end of 2021. I've talked to several brokers and I know what we'd have to pay today for coverage, but all of that will change by 2021 anyway. There's plenty in the budget to cover it.
Looking forward to travel, adventure, bicycling, hiking, learning, teaching and having new routines.
