I had a boss retire a couple months ago due to cancer scare (mid fifties) and similar aged customer retired today on doctors recommendation.
I have a lot of time before retiring, but hope to be able to continue riding at a high level & enjoying great health. So I have frequent thoughts about how much money we 'need' and how soon we could do it.
My retirement dream would involve leaving home for a winter and a summer trip lasting 4-6 weeks (somewhere warm in winter; mountains in summer) of course taking bikes along.
I think I'll always have some kind of side job with a little income, but healthcare costs can be daunting.
And my oldest is entering college next month with her brother only two years later.
If we survived on ramen maybe we could start now...
What are your plans or dreams for post-career life?
