Starting to Count Down to Retirement

I found myself with an empty moment at the same time as I had a calculator in my hand this morning. I decided to compute how many more days I would actually work if I retire at the end of June. Taking into account both my holiday entitlement and the fact that I now work only 4 days a week, it equates to just 90 days.

Whether I can actually complete the case files I have been hired to work on or not within that time is another issue. However, I have a feeling that it will be so much more pleasurable to retire as the days reach their longest and we hopefully have a spell of warm sunny days to enjoy. 30th June is therefore going to be my goal.

Good for you. I will watch with interest how you manage the next year or so. I have been retired for almost 1 year ( Jan.31/13) and am still not 100% settled with the idea.... even if it sounded great at the time. Be well

Thanks for the warning - I know it will not be easy but am banking on it being a lot less stressful than the last few years

Thanks for sharing Caree. The June 30th date is just around the corner. Is it still happening for you?

Yes - with accrued holiday, it has actually happened!
