What’s on your bucket list?

Welcome

Welcome to newsletter -113 — yes, still counting down the weeks. One-hundred and thirteen weeks to go, and after another tough week at work, I may decide to retire a bit earlier!

This week, I will start looking at my bucket list, how I keep it, what’s in it and what I will do with it.

Also, I must thank the kind folks that bought me a cup of tea. Thank you! Most kind and greatly appreciated.

The Future — what are you going to do?

I can split my plans for retirement into two:

  1. Side-hustles — these are things to keep my mind active, to give me something to do, and bring in a little cash. If they make a little extra cash, then great. But, my retirement is not dependent on my side-hustles making money.
  2. The bucket list — yes, everyone has one. Things they want to do once they retire. And, I am not talking about decluttering the house or painting it. I’m talking about fun things. I’m talking about experiences.
