Link to Forbes Article

(Photo Details:  Pizza party awaiting guests)

Just a quick note before my in-laws arrive for a couple days--kicking things of tonight with pizza by the fire.  

I wanted to post a link to the Forbes article I was interviewed for, How Two Couples Fund Their Fun in Early Retirement.  

I enjoyed reading about the other couple, David and Sally.  Especially to get introduced to his great blog.  He pubishes many of the financial details I don't publish here.  So for those of you for whom that is valuable, check him out:  I Retired Young, What I do and What it Costs.  I will certainly add him to my blogroll when I get a free moment after entertaining guests.

David and Sally have a 12-month, 14-country vacation on their bucket list.  Katherine Love asked me what was on my bucket list and I came up empty.  I have no bucket list.  I don't know if that makes me boring.  But I feel like I've had so many great experiences in my life, I want for nothing.  I know there's more fun on the horizon, but there's nothing I can think of that I just have to do.  And as you know, I'm sick of traveling, so I am content, even excited, to read about a 14-country trip.  I just don't have the energy or desire to actually go on one!  I wonder, will I even hit 14 countries over the next 30 years?

Now I'm just sounding old.  

With that I will sign off.  I've gotta go clean the house now.

I have no bucket list either, Syd, especially when it comes to traveling. I did resurrect two dormant hobbies and began a new activity when I first semi-retired 16 years ago. And that's all fine and good.

Nice write-up in the article. I see you gave Love the piano picture, a nice touch.

Syd, what a pretty table setting! Wish I was there! I enjoyed the Forbes article and will read more about this couple. And I've enjoyed your blog for years. I like reading about your perspective, especially since you have been retired for quite a long time now. Life is pretty wonderful.

Thanks for the tip on I retired young; looks like a good site. Meanwhile ... love your table!

Good to see your still blogging. The table setting looks beautiful. I'm still standing. I'm not boarded but at 65 and retired for ten years this is the first year I've enjoyed doing nothing I didn't go to the beach as much as I used to. And I'm loving every minuet of it. At lease I still cut the grass every week.

Wow, I only went to 4 countries, it is nice to hear that someone get to retire so young. I like to read your blog please keep it going.
