My leave of absence from work was approved and as of June 18th I'm a free man without a pay check. This will be my first time in 32 years that I have not had a job of some sort. I'm really looking at this time period as a trial retirement to see how we do without the jobs that have been the center of our lives the past 25 years and can we actually stay on the fairly conservative budget we planned. I've been a big fan of the FIRE movement over recent years and we have done a pretty good job saving and planning for the future but its a scary thing to go from saving to spending mode.
We now have 15 months to get a boat, complete the Great Loop, and do anything else we can think of that might be fun before I have to go back to work.
