This is my first year retired.
I'm using it to get health stuff done, bone grafts and teeth implants are taking the longest 'cause you have to wait 6 months for the bone grafts to be dense enough to take the implants. Slightly cracked hip screwed back together. Cataract surgery and liver treatment are finished with easily acquired good results. So I'm almost fixed up. But when the teeth thing is over, I'll be looking to teach some again (physics, which is a fun and dynamic subject to teach.) I miss the energy and joie de vivre of the young people.
They are a fabulous hedge against depression.
I've taught in the US, China, and Taiwan, where I am now. But I'm just gonna work half days.
I'll come in early, but I want to leave at 2.
I don't want the full class load.
I can take less pay, no problem.
My portfolio is not as simple as the three funds, but it is not complex.
4 IRA mutual funds, five individual stocks and 12 ETF s by sector and capitalization.
I was thinking about doing something else, but after reading this, I realize: "why"? What i have is about right for me.
