We are both excited and terrified at the same time, its retirement time! 6 years of planning, multiple planning meetings, eating at home, packing lunches, working overtime for years, driving used cars, we have no cottage, no RVs, no 4 wheelers, using coupons, garage sale shopping, reviews of income, savings, planning.. plan some more and January 1, 2021 or original plan is almost here. David will delay ~35days after January 1st and retire the first week of February. I have already stopped working at so many clients, and should be down 30% on work January 1, 2021, then moving on and less work with the end of a contract March 30, 2021. Our only income will be my part time job at Ascension hospitals, a few Nuclear medicine facilities and our Physics education website. Almost time to celebrate. Next post will be all the people/nay sayers that have told us how wrong we are to retire at 52years old and how we responded.

Wow, 225, that is really downsizing, but I see the attraction with downsize living. I love your gifting yourself. We will also downsize in about 5 years, but not that small, maybe ~1000. I hope you blog about it!

I had to look it up it was so interesting to me…Hephzibah or Hepzibah is a figure in the Books of Kings in the Bible. She was the wife of Hezekiah, King of Judah, and the mother of Manasseh of Judah. What a great name, now that I know more!

Wonderful news!!
It seems as though you will remain quite busy, Laura. Careful, with many people not able or wanting to work for a living, others may try to squeeze you for as much time as they can get from you. Wishing you two all the best
