2018 was awesome. 2nd year in ER and finished a 2 year project fully remodeling the house interior and patio. Got back into biking and rowing, and 8 lbs away from my college fit weight. Never thought I'd see that again! Looking forward to 2019, which currently, no commitments, and the horizon is only held back by lack of imaginagation. Work is a faint memory, but now able to think back fondly how lucky DW and I were to have a secure, good paying jobs.
Money wise, after 2 years, staying within budget, and market swings have little impact to our day to day lifestyle. We just initiated DW pension/company health insurance, which is another financial security milestone. All in all, loving retirement.
