I feel like I have the best of both worlds, because I work on a very limited basis for my former employer, mostly from right here in The Villages. I retired December 31, but then started work on a small project January 19. There's another project in the offing, a potential client in central Florida, and the opportunity to "pinch hit" when my former colleagues are double booked. My company is estimating 200 hours this year, but it may end up being 400 hours or 20%. That sounds about right. Consulting is 24/7/365, and everything seems to be an emergency. I am now insulated from most of the emergencies, and I sleep better for it.
