I became a new retiree four years earlier than expected. My journal posts documenting the journey will appear here.
Hitting my 16-month crashiversary milestone is worth noting, of course, but actually hitting retirement is a far bigger deal, and the start of our next phase.
Touch wood, I’m still in pretty good health even if I did nearly bite it. And, right now, not working may not be the best thing about retiring.

I actually read Atomic Habits by James Clear when it first came out. I wrote a post about my first impressions back then, and it’s been on my re-read list ever since. I finally finished it again last week. I’ve rarely read a book that resonated so much with me, and which provided so much obvious, immediately usable advice. In particular, since my crash, the concept of developing better habits has been essential to my recovery.
