The Month Of Santa Fe: November 2021 Recap

Well, somehow I’m in Year 2 of retirement. That’s fucking weird 🙂 . In the same vein, 2022 is almost here. Basically time is a strange beast that I don’t understand. I’ve been busy here retelling the story of my career and writing up my normal annual posts, so we’re only getting into what I did in November now. Sorry for the delay 🙂 . Let’s see what I got up to:

The Month Of The Southwest USA: October 2021 Recap

Ok, seriously – where did 2021 go? 2022 is 2 months away and I still feel like I’m mentally in 2020. Life is weird 🙂 . Luckily not all of October was a strange time loop though. We finally got to do something that’s been on my retirement bucket list: Travel around the Southwest to see pretty things! So let’s see what I got up to in October:

1 Year Of Early Retirement: Spending, Accidental Income, What’s Changed And What’s Next?

Well, the fastest 12 months of my life are at an end.

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

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)”

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.
