I mentioned in a recent post that I self-named April the month of optimism and I’ve maintained that thought through the end of the month. I am a pessimist at heart and 2020 challenged even my sense of what a hellscape could look like, but I’m currently feeling…hopeful 🙂 . Let’s see why:

Welcome to Week 6 of my early retirement journey! If you want to catch up with previous weeks, they’re here. It’s starting to settle in that this might be my actual life instead of a strange extra-long vacation 🙂 . Let’s get into it!
Last week we tackled reader questions about my first month of early retirement and this week, we’re back to our regularly scheduled programming of seeing what I am up to each week of retirement. Did I insert that AMA post so I’d have more time to craft these posts after the week is done? Maybe 😉 . Continue reading “Early Retirement Week 5: The Election”
