My Plans for "Retirement"

We all have a vision in our head of what retirement will be like. Most people see a silver haired version of themselves sipping a cocktail on a tropical beach. That sounds nice, but I see a slightly older, much less stressed version of myself doing all the things I don't currently have time for.

Here's some of the things I plan to do on a regular basis once I have more free time:

• Sleep in until sunrise
• Enjoy a leisurely cup of coffee
• Soak in our hot tub
• Switch from an electric to a safety razor
• Meditate
• Spend more time with my family
• Read more
• Practice guitar
• Exercise
• Go hiking
• Take day trips to fun places
• Go camping
• Tinker
• Volunteer

These are some specific goals I would like to achieve in the next few years, which probably wouldn't be possible while working:

• Hike the Pacific Crest Trail
• Hike the Appalachian Trail
• Bike across the country
• Build a successful business
• Finish rebuilding my motorcycle
• Work/Volunteer as a park ranger
• Learn to slackline
• Learn to weld
• Visit every (good) National Park
• Visit every (good) California State Park

The great thing about all these goals and activities is that they won't cost a lot of money.


If we have some extra money (or air miles), here's the international travel I would like to do:

Vietnam (Ha Long Bay and/or Cat Ba Bay)

Argentina

Portugal and Spain
