Almost 1 Year to Go Until I retire!!!!

[Rtmac]

My side hustle is private man-whore.

I still get texts about my lifestyle, ? ?
Retired, full time RV ing around the country, with no itinerary.
Someone wants me to work for them, part time with big reward$$$

I'm thinking cartels.

Me and Mrs Cabrito have been working on our plans with the major issue being healthcare. I'm hoping to stop the full time working next year or maybe the year after.

I've been planning on living on half of what I make now so I'm trying to get our main vehicle replaced with something new. I'm also working on my Moto plan so I have some nice fresh bikes for the future.

For sure I plan to work some sort of part time, or gig work for supplemental income.

I can't wait to stop working the full time job.. I guess every year I postpone the SSI check gets better. If I start next year I'll be 62.

First thing we did is paid off the mortgage.

We live on far less than half what we made combined the last few years of working.

And now SS is kicking in (we waited till 70 as we wanted to do a bunch of Roth IRA conversions before we took SS), and we don't need that money so will be gifting some of that to our daughter.

She doesn't need the money either as her and her husband are doing just fine but unlike us they have no problem dropping $$$ on fancy tasting courses at snazzy restaurants or staying at fancy pants hotels.

I tell myself (many years from now) that when that time comes and I can retire I wouldn't mind working the day shift at a brewpub/bar/dive a couple days out of the week. I love talking to strangers/randoms and socializing while pouring beers seems like a fun side hustle. That or work for my local LBS doing simple repairs.

Since I've officially retired, way back in '04, I find myself lacking in my retirement, a key piece that signifies
the retirement, a pedestal if you will, , ,
With my treatment of my ol' buddy Mel, I have been "in training" of sorts, my time during infusions.
There IS a chair, a fully padded recliner, with just a few extra buttons, a milestone of achievement,
A place to plant, one's retirement, ultimate goal, The LazyBoy, sure I had a soft tail that I customized for flowing good looks,
My Fat Boy, it moved, and collected layers of bugs, had to feed it gas, but it didn't fart. Comfortable for weeks at a ride.

Yet, now I find myself lacking my pedestal to view my world, from my living room, for I have no extra room to park a Lazy Boy,
I need it to haul my bikes.
I did buy a trainer, a couple of years ago, just because I had to have something for the back porch,
I even bought a horse trough, as a cold tub for summer relief, but it didn't work, water temps from city's water supply only dipped into the mid 70's, not cold enough to lower my core temp, add 4, 5# blocks of ice will drop temps to achieve relief, @ $3.89 each

Is there attgatt, or anything else I would need for my training, how many hours in seat, to achieve slumber ?
Special clothing, maybe a smoking jacket, for winter porch time ?

Donations of Zzzzzz will be graciously accepted, , ,

My back porch, @ twilight, , ,

My total sum of my possessions

I'm ready for a house and a real LazyBoy, , ,

Not sure i'd want to spend my days in a bar, with people who hang out in bars in the middle of the day.
But you do you

Ps, I know there are "fun, bright, decent, not gross" daytime bars,
but my mind immediately went to the "closed door, dark, no windows, bleach smelling, depressing AF, filled with alcoholics" daytime bar

I've got the LBS job I was thinking I'd do in retirement. I do not mind the work, I do mind it being full time, but also I am not retired and I need all those $$$ and health insurance. Got a statement from the social security peeps, seems if I can hold on for another 20 years or so and not die or go broke I'll be able to live comfortably as my mortgage will be paid off by then. Guess I better figure out what to do for the next 20 years.

Nope. Most of the folks I really knew have moved on and since the pandemic most work has been through portals and a zoom here and there. Very few face to face interactions. I used to have friends in a lot of cities. Now...

I will reach out to a couple to say so long.
SJ - One person.
SV - Two or three
SC - None
Fremont - None
Newark - None
Morgan Hill - None
Brisbane - None
RWD City - None
Hayward - None
San Mateo - None
Menlo Park - ha!
Mountain View - One (consultant)

That is the new world... and it kind of sucks so glad to GTFO!

I expect your post count here to skyrocket
