Thread: My retirement journey

  1. #37

    Default Re: My retirement journey

    Got an offer for the home for exactly what I needed to get. I accepted and they set the closing for the same day that the government says I have to retire (originally).

    So I may not need to stay (haven't been approved yet anyway).

    Stay tuned

    Update: Inspection found my septic system needs replacing. I came down to reflect this, and the buyer is still on board. I'll still get enough to pay of the new home, but a boat is not coming my way.

    Appraisal next week, cross your fingers for me please.

    I'm on sick leave until my final day. Never got a response on perhaps staying longer. If the sale falls through, I'll hope that comes in, otherwise, I'm out of my job and home on 6/30.

    Congrats. Looking forward to my second retirement. Sometime late summer next year.

    Enjoy. The new home will keep you busy for a little bit.
    May the force be with us.

    Well, I intentionally left this thread because I wanted to wait for a full update. The process was murder, the buyer had issues with the IRS and of course everyone blamed the virus for the delays, but FINALLY, I have completed the process.

    So, without further adieu, here we go:

    I had a new buyer come and offer more than my list price. Lots of issues, but we closed yesterday! I'm now living in my new home and life is wonderful. I thank God for getting us through this; I almost backed out of the deal more than once from sheer frustration.

    Now I have enough money to pay off my new home and I'm in the dilemma of, should I pay it off now, or maybe part, or maybe none. I have another thread that I'm going to update concerning just that, so if you have input, feel free to join.

    Advice please home/tsp in retirement


    Oh, the chance to extend my working status for one year was still processing when my retirement date came up, so I just left. My pension has not kicked in yet, but I got a nice check for all my unused annual leave, so we are good.

    Wife and I have a part time job here. We fish off our dock, and swim, and garden, and play tennis, and watch the sunsets over the lake. I hope all of you get blessed the way we have.

    Thank you for all your advice and good will throughout this process.

    Awww sounds like a perfect fairytale ending. "And they lived happily ever after."

    Congratulations and enjoy your retirement!

    God bless!
