You have nailed it exactly. I was fortunate enough at age 60 to understand about time and act on it. That is why at age 61 and one month I quit work and hit the road. Now I know that should have been a few years sooner. But that is hindsight. Welcome to the CLUB.

Yeah I wish I had started earlier but I'm such a procrastinator that I just kept putting it off. Just imagining what it was going to take to sell my house and get rid of all of my stuff was more work than I wanted to get involved in.

You guys are really making me want to pitch it all and hit the road. House sold - check; junk sold - check; downsized to smaller place - check. All that's holding me back is letting go of the pay check. I have a feeling in a few years when I hit 60 (if I'm still alive and kicking) that I'm going to be saying "I wish I had left a few years earlier", unless I make a change soon. I am thinking in the Spring, but every Spring and Fall that gets here I say "Well, just another 6 months or so".

I think it's always best to make a change "when you're ready"and that's why nobody can tell you when it's best to make a change. I also believe that "when you're ready," you will know it.

Yes it is kind of scary but like I've told Tim in the past, going full time is not an irreversible decision. There's ways that you can slowly sneak into full timing without burning all of your bridges, like for instance keep your home and tell everyone you're on an extended vacation.

Thank you very much Tim. I've gone along on some duckhunts myself, and in Colorado duckhunting is a good way to freeze off various parts of your body.
