There are lots of threads about retirement and long range plans but what about mid range plans? Baz got me thinking about that on my other thread where I complain about the crazy lady calling cops on me. I know some of you are retired, and many of us aren't and are still chipping away with retirement in more then 10 years. Lets hear it.

Work like hell in the next 5 years.

Start thinking about a retirement home. Single story, largish garage and yard near the foothills. Gut it and make it the way I want. Rent my current home out and let kids take care of it. The only way to learn about rentals is to jump in and deal with it. Hopefully it wouldn't burn them out.

Travel a bit with the kids

A few more big road trips after kids gone off to college.

While I can still walk and stay strong, near the 10 years mark, I like to live aboard for a few months, work in a restaurant or something part time (no pay is OK) so I can get to know some of the locals. Use that as a base and see cities or countries near by. Come home and do it again next year. I am not sure if this will ever become reality because my wife isn't too keen on doing this.

Drive those damn 911s more.
