In addition to our travels I will be sharing with you my journey towards retirement that will occur in 121 months (or just over ten years). I have determined that before I reach retirement there are things that I need to be involved in so that I am not hanging around the house annoying Jene or listening to talk back radio becoming grumpier than I already am.
Today I went to a Volunteers Information session at Taronga Zoo to find out how to get involved. They are looking for people to commit one day a fortnight for a minimum of twelve months to act as guides and other customer service or you can apply to work with one of the animal units. I was planning to start straight away but training will be held while we are away. The next applications will be listed in August so I will apply then.
I thought that I might be able to apply for a nine day fortnight at work so my day at the zoo wouldn't clash with weekends but Jen said no. I told her that if you are going to take retirement seriously then cutting work hours is an important part of the plan. She still wasn't interested. (I will keep working on it).
You might ask what Jen's plans for retirement are - she will tell you she has no intentions to retire while I am at home everyday. Suits me as we need someone bringing the money in.
