Why Should You Care – about me?
Hi. My name is Linda. My last day of work was April 29, 2016 – the day before my 60th birthday. For many, this is early retirement and I feel fortunate I was able to do so. I’m grateful I worked for the same company for 38 years and was able to be financially set.
One day, pretty much out of the blue, I had this thought about writing a blog. Why? I’m still not quite sure, but as I’ve thought about my life as a retiree, I wondered if I had some insights to share.
When preparing for retirement, many people would ask “what will you do all day?”. I was never worried about that, and so far, it hasn’t been a problem. My experience has been, there aren’t enough hours in the day. How did I possibly work?
I have lots of interests, most (if not all) which are suited to my introvert personality. So I thought maybe others in my situation could benefit from my experiences.
I chose my name – retired introvert – to emphasize that I would not be writing about all the exotic places I’m visiting and all the activities I’m involved in. That doesn’t mean I don’t like to travel or be active; it just means that’s not my number one goal in retirement. And I suspect some people worry that they won’t have a fulfilling retired life, especially as an introvert. Or maybe there’s an advantage to being a retired introvert. Who knows? I just hope I can share things that interest you. As I said, I have lots of interests – maybe one will speak to you!!
Linda
