Read? Why Do We Want To Retire Early or early?

Auntie8888 has retired from full-time employee to stay-at-home-mum since 1995 to look after three kids after she decided to terminate domestic helper who was helping less than expected.

Once children have grown up and not messing up the house to create more household chores and no more taking care of children's pets. Previously; home was a mini Zoo with rabbits, tortoise, birds, and marine fishes. All these pets were passed. None of the children wanted to keep pets anymore. Now only left with Auntie8888's gardening.

With so less household chores and limited gardening activities to occupy  so much spare time, it is not easy to become full-time retiree.

She decided to work three half-day part-time per week and recently upgrade to four half-day part-time per week.

The Moral of Story 

Do we really need more free time to do those activities that cannot be achieved during full-time day job?

If no, should it be better to delay our voluntarily retirement till more "enforced" retirement later.

Too much free time is not easy to manage. 

Don't be mislead. Some retirees are close to full-time activities in the stock market, basically it is another form of casual day job. 

So are you willing to become near full-time investors or traders to manage more time and engage in high risk activities?



Now, Uncle8888 has his Bucket List ready and more free time is needed. Bo pian! He has to retire from his full-time employment to have excess of 21 days annual leave and 9 public holidays.
