I have a unique plan that I am proud of. I am 61 years old and I am a second year nursing student. After graduation I plan to work in community health. I want to help people to have a long healthy life. I am the retirement plan, so I plan to work as long as I can hopefully working less and less so I can have some fun along the way. I am in great health so I could work for 10 – 15 years.

Thanks Glenn! I appreciate you sharing your story. The great thing about exploring the concept of mini-retirements is seeing how so many people are adapting them to fit their unique situation. Whereas traditional retirement is kind of an all or none proposition, mini-retirements can be shaped and molded to fit into your existing life and work. Thanks again for touching base. Keep us updated as you go along so we can all benefit from your experience.

just found your site and i love the path in which you are thinking, as it is a path I have been pursuing as well.

I am now 53, kids are post college and I am ready to move forward with the next phase of my life.

My plan is to incrementally increase the time i take extended time away from my home. The last two years have only been 2 weeks of February winter time in Florida. Living in NH, going somewhere warm in Winter is a priority for me.

Next year, my plan is to take three weeks to begin expoloring Europe.
Thereafter, each year will be a month long Winter trip to a seperate location to ‘escape’ the NH winter, which will increase until it extends to 3 months of mini-retirement.

The good news for me is that I love where I live and the work that I do, Yet i concur with you original premise, I dont want to wait until I am 65 to retire and do everything I want then.

I wish you luck on your journey!

best,

glenn
