#2 – What’s This Going to be About?

OK, I’m still trying to properly set up my blog page, with very limited success so far. My most recent step was to email the owner of the website who’s instructions I followed. I’m sure it was operator error (me).

I don’t even know yet whether my page is accessible or not. Is it supposed to be under #mccrabbisretiring or mccrabbisretiring.com?

When I figure out how to do it, I’m going to label this a lifestyle blog. So much to learn, but that was one of the objectives of doing this. No one accused me of being a quick learner.

So what are we going to consider?

A little bit about financial matters, including investing, income sources, taxes, etc.

When to retire, from an age/asset perspective; considering your spouse’s occupation; etc.

Where to retire

Post-retirement considerations such as:

  • Living with purpose (or not)
  • Travel
  • Possible transition to part time work
  • Health/exercise/diet/life longevity
  • Medicare, Social Security and other government interfaces

I’ll also share most of my considerations, decision rationale, etc. as we approach the retirement decision and the retirement date. This is just the beginning of the list. I’ll start the conversations and hopefully will hear from you. Eventually I’ll need to make separate pages for these subjects, but for the first few weeks I’ll keep them on the same page. Of course I have to fix the blog site first. I did hit the “Go Live” button……..
