Retirement

So I finally retired from the workforce on July 31st.

Why is it that people want to know what I plan on doing with my time?  And these inquiries started after I had only been retired for two weeks!  Are you people crazy??  Can I please have some time to just enjoy NOT working?  Why do you think that I have to do anything at all now?  Am I not allowed to wallow in having the time to do what I want to do and not what someone else wants me to do?

Get off my fucking case!

If I choose to do absolutely nothing, it is my choice - not yours!  Live your own life, not mine.

So, there are days that I don't even get out of my PJs, sitting at my computer, researching moving to Ecuador, doing my Spanish lessons or just playing some games and not thinking about anything.  My goodness - there are days that I don't even take a shower (OMG)!!  Call the retirement police...  I just admitted to not taking a shower every day!

Yet I enjoy that a big deal includes a trip to the grocery store that is about a mile away.  (Hey, at least I got out of the house, and yes, I took a shower on those days)  But please keep in mind that this is my life, not yours, and I will do or not do whatever the hell that I feel like.

I will admit to speaking to several financial advisers at three different banks regarding what to do with my 401k $$ and finally made a decision about what to do with that issue, so some of my time outside of the house has been productive.

And now that I have made that decision, I can go back to lounging around in my PJs and surfing the web on my computer.  Hasta luego mis amigos!
