The Month Of New York State: Early Retirement Month 11 (August 2021)

Well, 2021 is 2/3 done. Time is meaningless 🙂 . Apparently Starbucks is already prepping Pumpkin Spice Lattes and yet it still looks and feels like summer in the Northeast. Weird.

The Month Of New Hampshire: Early Retirement Month 9 (June 2021)

Before we get into the topic today, I have a quick aside. After I failed at my goal of not being afraid to ask for self-recognition for two years in a row, I’ve decided that the streak won’t continue. So for the first time, I will mention that nominations for the Plutus Awards are open and will be closing soon. Continue reading “The Month Of New Hampshire: Early Retirement Month 9 (June 2021)”

Is Retirement Everything I Dreamed? A 6 Month Check-In

The Month Of Change: Early Retirement Month 6 (March 2021)

The Month Of Birds: Early Retirement Month 5 (February 2021)

Another month of early retirement down and another intro where I express disbelief that time is flying so fast 🙂 . 2021 also seems to be going by faster than 2020, but maybe that’s because I’m used to pandemic quarantine life now…or maybe I’m just inviting the gods to prove me wrong in March – Please no 🙂 ! Anyway, fingers crossed this March is lightyears better than the last one. In the meantime, let’s get into what I got up to last month.
