Hello world!

Well, a brand new life awaits me. I have jumped on the bandwagon of blogs.

Cracking Retirement – what’s in the name?

You can read Cracking in two ways

  1. Cracking – as in Fantastic
  2. Cracking – as in understanding, working things out

In my case, it’s a bit of both. I retired early about 5 years ago, before it became fashionable. I’m lucky in that I am self supporting, but given that nursing home costs are ahead of me, I am interested in expanding my income. At the same time, I want to travel loads, while I am still fit and healthy, which doesn’t come cheap.

I’ll be posting about ways of building retirement income, my travels as a retiree, and finally my hobby – bashing metal…
