And just like that, 2022 was at an end… Weird π . 2022 was filled with so much travel, food and fun that it seemed to fly by. Years used to feel a bit infinite, but now they’re whizzing past. I’m glad I have these posts to look back on and remember what I did with that time π . So let’s see what I got up to during the last month of 2022!

I find it a little bit cruel that we ask children what they want to be when they grow up. Maybe it’s my pessimism, but asking a kid what they would most like to do only for them to have the facts of the world slap them in the face down the line, messed me up a bit π . However, I may be an outlier. Continue reading “How Retirement Allows Me To Live My Childhood Dreams”
Throughout the year, I like to jot down new things I’ve learned, read, watched and experienced to try and remember what each year entailed. I then summarize all of that in my annual goals and accomplishments posts. The goal of these posts is not just to curate what I’ve been up to, but also to document how I have changed from one year to the next and how I’ve grown as a person.

Well, another month is done, I experienced fall, and enjoyed some season-appropriate adventures. Let’s see what I got up to!

And just like that, it was fall π . I always thought of myself as a summer girl, but given that I can soak up all of the lessening hours of sunlight instead of dreamily looking at them outside my office window, I’m coming around to this season. It’s definitely more pleasant to run in, I’m enjoying the warmth of tea in my belly and a fluffy blanket on my lap when I (inevitably) read a book in one sitting. Consider me a changed woman π . So, let’s see what I got up to during this first month of fall!
Time continues to have no meaning π . Somehow, I have now been retired 2 years. HOW?! Time has been flying and life is going even better than forecast. So to commemorate the end of my second retired year and get pumped for the third, I wanted to go over where I’ve been, what I’ve spent, any revelations I’ve had, and what’s next in retirement π . Let’s get into it! Continue reading “2 Years Of Early Retirement: Finances, Whatβs Changed And Whatβs Next?”
