Welcome

I started this blog as a way of sharing my early retirement experiences with others that may be thinking about retirement and want to know what life looks like on the other side. I’ve decided on four main goals for my retirement:

Travel: I’m from Greece originally and some of my posts will be biased towards that. I hope you get to read about some of the best places to visit in Greece and elsewhere and maybe get to visit them one day.
Help improve the STEM education in the US. My initial thought here is to explore teaching in high school as a start and then look for additional ways of having broader impact.
Do some consulting in my area of expertise as a way to continue staying engaged with the industry. I started a company called PNM Strategic Consulting.
Explore ways to reduce the number of Americans living paycheck to paycheck (currently at 61%). This is more of a future focus.
