There it is.
However, be willing to adjust your "happiness profile" as you settle in to your well earned retirement.
We hire a number of retired folks as "1099's" who moved to North Carolina with the expectation of never working again. They enjoy our projects and only work on stuff they want too, at hours they specify. Their talent and experience makes it very much worth our being completely flexible with them. We even "time share" folks of the same career backgrounds if they can't individually commit to the required labor hours.
Some folks work 10 hours a week and then take a month off to travel. Some start at five hours a week and want to flex to 30 or so in critical junctures. Others stay at five.
We remote folks in as well via GoToMeeting when possible to make it even easier.
Talent is hard to find and we keep our rates very competitive in our marketplace. This is the best thing we ever did in terms of getting the right people in place, happy and satisfied.
Again, congratulations on your retirement...it is now about you and your families desires.
