The Retirement Newsletter: A milestone reached!
Welcome
OK, this is one of those milestones on the road to retirement — issue -130. But why is this a milestone?
Well, there are 52 weeks in a year, 104 weeks in two years, 26 weeks in half a year, so this means that at 130 weeks from retirement, I have 2.5 years to go!
I am not too sure how I feel about that…. 130 weeks sound like a long time, but 2.5 years doesn’t sound that much. Friends who have retired have assured me that the time will fly by, and I will be retired before I know it. Is that a good thing?
So, this week we will look some more at planning and how I used a handy feature in Evernote (remember, that is the program I am using to manage all my plans to retire — see newsletter issue -133) for more details) to keep on top of my things.
Planning
In the last newsletter ( issue -131), I explained how I came up with my lists of actions to help me get to my retirement date. And in the newsletter, I said I had ended up with four lists:
- Money — debts, mortgage, savings, and pension
- Job — keep the one I have got and improve it, or find a new job
