Full-Time Retirement Travel Plan: Rethinking the Timeline

And then today, December 6, 2022 she tells me she isn’t comfortable with a 1 year timeline to drop everything and go. She isn’t ‘done’ working yet. Alrighty then, so we’ll be talking about that…

Exploring Options and Setting a New Target Date for Launching our Full-Time Retirement Travel Plan

Much of our discussion centers about the various moving parts and various “what if” scenarios to determine a new quit date; when we plan to bail and travel full-time informs the decision of how we handle the money from selling the house. Because we both agree that getting off this property is a necessary first step to retirement planning and that should happen in the spring this coming year. 

Originally, we envisioned November 2023 as our departure date. With Sandra’s concerns in mind, we’ve pushed that back to October 2024.

This extended timeline means our “transitional period” is now 17 months instead of 6. We’ll need to carefully plan for this extended period, especially since it includes another winter in Oregon.
