Acceleration of Plan

It's time for me to ease into semi-retirement.   Some things happened and I've had enough.  I just want to work part-time.  I'm now investigating what those opportunities might be.

It's no problem for me to do this.   The only annoying thing is the medical insurance I will need to buy until I'm eligible for Medicare.  I'll figure it out.  

This is really a slight acceleration of the plan.  I'll work six months.   The other six months will be travel and R&R.

The expectations for a part-time or interim employee are less than for a full-time employee.  That's important for me.  A few weeks ago I encountered problems with our computer system and found myself working twelve hours on a holiday to fix it and catch-up.   I don't need that.  And this is just one example. Those days are over for me.  

Why not just completely stop working?   That's an option.  However, I need some work for mental health reasons.   To stay engaged and active.  Having the extra money will mean I can spend more on travel.  I won't agonize over booking business on an Asia trip.

 More to come.
