RETIRED….. Now What? (my experiences of early retirement – it's not what you think)

Adventures of a 50 something Gen X'er

  • We, Really did not mean what we said….

    Welllll……. Let’s see. Stopped working. Check. Thought I was good to go with getting a job I really felt passion for. Check. Hoping I would be getting a pension check every two weeks. Check. Sometimes, life gives you a bowl of pudding, or what you think is pudding, until you grab it and the bowl…

  • What puts you in a good mood?

    Can you define why you were just made happy? Being mad, it is easy to find out why, but what makes you happy.

  • Day One: Early Retirement (April Fool?)

    What is the first thing you do on the first day of no primary career? Go get a huge breakfast (I would go for Challah Bread French Toast, REAL Maple syrup, and crispy rasher of bacon… oh and that warm, fresh, real percolated coffee) That fresh whipped butter sliding off the toast as it melts.…

  • Sizes are not what they seem

    We all have heard the jokes. I have said it more than once, to a cringing audience. Sizes matter. And this is not what you think it is about. Shopping and inflation. Inflation. OMG, Are things getting more expensive? Do you get more for your money? I went to the local grocery store I like…

  • Who are we? 1965-1979 Gen – Xer’s

    A week away. Soon to be back amongst the masses. Retired and ready to start life 2.0. No new job yet. No new life, yet. What does that mean? New life? It is not like I barely fouled off strike 3. (My Baseball Coach Vinne Monaco used that term all the time when I was…

  • The Second Career

    So, high… no High as the clouds gas prices. Food prices going up, the thought of retiring and resting on any thing such as a laurel, well. That is just not gonna happen. My years or lottery playing and scratching off the tickets, has yielded a less than stellar winning percentage. (I can remember a…

  • Is every day a day off now, or are there no days off.

    Take time to smell the roses, or continue that hustle. If you can, why not do both. “All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy.” So, I play. For a few hours. Relax, forget about that self made anxiety and stress that is gnawing at my gut. Try to enjoy. For what is…

  • The Side Hustle. Is it really passive income if I work this hard at it?

    We all want it, we all need it, money. As I am learning, working hard for that dollar, is not always the best way to maintain and sustain that income. And now, as a novice, a dummy and a self described old guy with limited skills, I am looking into internet passive income. And boy…

  • It’s the economy stupid.

    James Carville. The Ragin’ Cajun. He did put it into simple, easy to understand statements sometimes. So, I think I have to go find another. costs going up everywhere, food, gas, just about everything. But where to go, what to do, how to do it. And will I be marketable to a company at this…
