I got ‘here’ from the Can I Retire Yet link this month. I really enjoyed your posting and such good, mindful reasoning. I’m 10 years retired and now almost 70 so not so much on the Retire Early spectrum. Still careful diligent savings and satisfying jobs kept me and the ‘boss lady’ wife generally happy with life. All good and retiring at 60 seemed right and early for us.

One aspect of our retirement that we didn’t consider too much was becoming Adult Lifelong Learners at a local college. This has been an excellent adventure with much social interaction for the mature crowd and even the college students somewhat. The variety of interesting non-testing options for classes, unique local and international travel events, auditing the real college classes, as well as lots of exercise/health courses has us there many times a week. Their program is expanding at a great pace! The cost is crazy low in my opinion too.

One exceptional part is that some of the mature ALL (Adult Lifelong Learners) even teach, like me, which is something I would never have guessed! I teach a DIY Fix It class since I was a maintenance mechanic for most of my career.

With this I hope to encourage people to keep learning all through life. It seems your podcast and the Can I Retire Yet do just that.

Many many thanks!

David
