What will be your "retired job"

[virgo]

"Retiring? Never!!"

In 10 years time, I will be teaching at an orphanage either in Thailand or China...(hey! i like to be very specific)

what to do with my hubby? Well, he can either follow me or he can stay at home

To this end, i have built a granny flat attached to my PPOR; atm it is rented but it will serve as our base when we "retire" and bounce back and forth between Asia and Australia...all's good

My neighbour just told me his best friend passed away suddenly...from DVT at 49 spent all his life WORKING!

We work currently in our business.

We've been lucky/forward planning enough to be able to duck off overseas for three months at a time. At the moment we're planning a trip to Chile - visit the other half's cousin at his copper mine, and take an intensive spanish course. Hopefully some outdoorsy stuff in Patagonia as well.

If that goes well, rinse and repeat for a second trip there, and then another somewhere to learn either Mandarin or Cantonese.

Recently had a work trip in Thailand - few things caught my eye so looking at doing some importing as well. Still tempted to go back into banking as well - I miss my bloomberg and Reuters screens and the constant flow of data and economic banter.

Soon to be parents in law make a trip 'home' to Croatia every year. Great lifestyle!

That is where FIL goes to too! He has an apartment in one of the seaside towns and loves it there.

I haven't been to Croatia yet but I would love to visit one day.

What about fostering dogs, got a pup at the moment, lots of fun and lots of work (SAFE, stands for - saving animals from euthanisia). Will make you feel damn good


Cheers MTR

While I could retire in the next few years if I really wanted to, I'm not sure that I actually want to anymore.

Once I knew I was able to retire soon, I stopped trying to please bosses at work and now I just work to my own values. Amusingly, my bosses are now more pleased with me than ever and I'm enjoying what I do, so my urge to stop working has gone away.

I'm going to have to rethink my cunning retirement plan

Many threads on this forum are concerned with the financial aspects reaching and funding retirement. I find myself in the lucky position of being able to afford to retire this year. As much as I have come to loath the rat race, leaving it is somewhat daunting. My question is: what will you do/did you do with yourself once you arrive. I'm not talking about the around the world trip, but what will be/is your day to day retirement job. Did/will you start a business, part time job, volunteer, socialise, hobby, watch tv, or annoy the spouse?

I want to retire on my farm when I retire. I just love sheep, goats, cows, lucerne, canola, hydroponics, olives, fresh-water fish...Im sure I missed some

A lot of property speculators in the US had early retirement plans in 2007... then things changed.
Good to have a back up plan in case property doesn't deliver as expected.
