I planned on retiring in 1998 when my wife and I moved from San Diego to the mountains of Central Arizona. I had some ‘getting bored’ issues and had some concern that our savings wouldn’t last forty+ years so I started periodic remote consulting gigs. In the last six years, I increased the amount of work I did, going to Google in Mountain View, doing an on site gig in Singapore, and lastly temporarily moving to Illinois to manage a deep learning team. I had meant to start a small one person company when my wife and I returned home to Sedona, but my heart is not in it. So, I have been retired for six months and I am enjoying it immensely, no ‘getting bored.’
