The final countdown is upon us, there are now 365 days left until retirement.
My hopes are that, although this blog has been mostly dead for many years now, I can journal my way through the highs and lows of winding down a full time career in the Market Research Industry. The need to continue to service clients external and internal. The need to cross-train someone new to lead the Operations on the global accounts. The emotional journey of goodbye and farewell to some who I've worked with my entire career, as well as those who I've grown close to in just 6-8 years most recently.
Aiming for a post a week, but depending on what's going on, maybe more or maybe less.
My wife retires in just 14 days!!! She's beating me to the finish line but this has been our goal since we got married almost 21 years ago.
What lays ahead is definitely some massive research into health insurance (we'll have a gap until Medicare), financial discipline and seeing our spawn head off to college since he'll be graduating in just 60 days!!
And, although I may be retiring from the career that has defined my life, I still may dabble in something part-time to see if I can snag some insurance or just to keep myself active. Who knows.
We do have a cool vacation coming up in September to Grenada, and a couple months after my retirement next year, we're doing 2 luxury weeks in Jamaica to celebrate.
The clock is now ticking, but in a very positive way.
