8. I don't know if I can retire. Really.
If someone tells you that he is going to retire at 45 it means
1. He is tired of what he doing now - he thinks he is successful
2. He will not retire at 45 because he has not found out what he really
should be doing
I'm not at all sure how this applies to me; I retired at 46.
I was certainly tired of the company I was working for at the time (an
unworthy tuition mill), but not tired of teaching. As for
"successful", my wife and I agreed we no longer needed additional
income, which is success in at least one form.
I did not stay retired. Within a year I had two part-time jobs, and a
decade later took on a full-time post in addition. All three were for
love of the work, so I'm not sure if this means I "unretired" or not.
It is so very hard to explain or define the unusual life of the sort
more and more of us are coming to lead.
Cheers,
Bruce
