How do you want to retire?

Traveling with my husband, sitting around a table under vines and party lights with family and friends, seeing every art gallery and museum in the world (I know how to party, right?) visiting sporting events, festivals and amazing sights the world over. Writing books. Reading books. Talking about books. Relaxing and enjoying each other’s company, helping others, doing some good in the world.

How it started: Hubby and I at Stonehenge, 1998

I’ve been working since I was nearly 14. While attending university full time, I worked every Thursday night, all day Friday and Friday nights, all day Saturday and every second Sunday. When I started full time work, I studied part time. I’ve always been an over-do-er, an over-achiever, always feeling like there is a big ol’ clock ticking somewhere and it’s getting louder.

My husband and I have always worked hard. We went without. And we got lucky in so many ways. We are semi-retiring now while we have time to enjoy ourselves.

How it’s going: Growing old with plenty of laugh lines
