If you are ready to retire now but not sure what you want to do, you can rent for awhile to figure things out. Lot's of people sell their house, put what they will bring in storage and then rent.

If you have a few years before retirement, then you can "test drive" for awhile and call it a vacation each year while checking everything out.

I can't retire till Feb the earliest. We have our lot and the house is on the market. The plan is that as soon as I stop working we'll be in TV fulltime!


I think if the plan is to retire in TV, you made a great decision. How you go about it is you own personal preference. Everyone has their own set of circustances that will influence you own decision.

Good Luck!
