Mainly Mita

Spouse and I have a lot of time on our hands these days. Too much sometimes…

Anyway, the other day we were talking about making changes on one of his blogs, www.retiredpay.com - go check it out and make him smile.  It’s one of the first domain names he registered and was supposed to be an online website for his divorce lawyer whom he strangely kept closely in touch with AFTER we were married. That weirded me out a couple of times…

The whole legal process of his divorce seemed to fascinate Spouse and he may not admit this but his eyes shine when talking about these things.
Eventually his lawyer would throw him legal dilemnas/puzzles every now and then which the Spouse would find a solution for. In short, this is how Spouse got into this blog and discovered his fascination with the intricacies of the law with regard to divorce, military pay and federal retirement benefits.

As we were discussing this blog, we touched on the blog’s traffic spike on Firdays and weekends, something we’ve always attributed to potential retirees doing their research after wrapping up the week that was - at work we always surmised. His other blogs never perform this way.

Then it hit me just now, I’m a baby boomer myself. I’m in my 40’s and do fall in that category of people born in the period of the baby boom generation.

Heck, I guess I can even call myself retired after we moved back to the Philippines!

I have no job, there was an offer that fizzled out but I haven’t really looked at what’s out there since we moved here 6 months ago. So yes, I’m jobless. I watch the chicken stewing in the pot pretty closely and started watching the squash blossoms grow in the yard….OMG!
Can I officially lump myself with all the retired baby boomers in the world now? When did this all happen? What on earth do I do with myself now? Does this mean my life is over?
