BTW…just did a “mini-retirement” vacation and rethinking retirement sooner than later.

A few more?

“McSeniors” (noun) it’s the new senior center…where the retired gather for “senior coffees” and socialize because the real senior center is “just for old people” according to my 77 year old mother.

Every Mc D’s we stopped at for breakfast on our cross country drive had seniors there doing senior coffees. Now we do them too since we discovered this secret perk. Ironic, we start out with happy meals and retire to senior coffees but Ronald McDonald still has his red hair? all of it too?

“V8ment” (noun) that moment in time when the thought pops in your head that you really can retire!

“Robbin-good” (verb) the day you turn 70 to maximize your social security benefit and contemplate how to minimize your 401k required minimum distribution (RMD) for taxes because ye old Uncle Sam doth giveth and taketh so he is “robbin-good.”

Gotcha. Yeah, I’ve had a few newly retired clients tell me that being home all day together can be a bit of an…adjustment.

What does the PSI stand for Mark? Pounds per square inch? Planetary Science Institute? Sorry, I’m slow sometimes. 🙂

In this, my last semester of teaching, the “to-don’t list” particularly resonated. As in “I’ll never have to read another pile of first drafts of papers” or “I’ll never have to write/grade another exam1”
