I know. I may reach out. I have a great boss where I’m at and due to my experience it’s an “easy” day to day but lately a few thing happened that make me shake my head. I could fix it.. but it’s out of my lane.
At the end of the day I’m lucky. Pretty much zero travel and WFH making more than I ever have, but I feel like I could make more of an impact elsewhere. Make sense?

I’m in a very similar boat across the board.
My wife and I support some charities on a monthly based and I set up the payments on the BP Visa to get reward points. Three times in the past year BP has texted fraud alerts to me at 4:00 am local time informing me that they have denied several charges- and to text "Y" to them if they are authorized. In all three case all of the charges except for the last "alert" were those recurring monthly payments to charities. Then I get emails from the charities advising my card was rejected. In the first two cases I called and advised what was going on. Didn't help. In fact, the third incident not only included monthly charities but also a gas purchase at the local BP station I use almost exclusively.
I'm done with them.

so suddenly an interesting opportunity popping up, might not be such a bad idea! As long as I don't have to work too hard....

will see what the world is like a year from now when it might be an option.
I figured a small local used place that sells upscale cars would be a nice place to be. Not absurd hours and fun stuff to play with. Do some internet discussions, take pictures, help get cars from the auction, and sell a few here and there.
considering if I was retired I would probably hang around a place like that just to get out of the house, getting paid to do it would be gravy!

They didn’t specify, but that will be the first question. Relocation is something we have no interest in.
My wife was offered a position in Charlotte, NC right after we bought the new house. We considered it for a nanosecond and then realized we couldn’t do it.

That said, house is insulated well. HVAC is all “up to snuff”. Stove/Oven is gas, as is furnace. Thermostat is set at 68º in the winter, 72º in the summer, and sparingly used in Spring and Fall.

This place is getting old.
Come July I’ll hit a magic number too. If I knew I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.

Along with everything else.. I’m realizing our utility rates are higher than other states.

Maybe it’s not too late for Mrs. tjc78 to reconsider that NC offer.

My nephew has the same opinion - started in practice in Charlotte and is now in Raleigh. He decided not to retire and move up to Nantucket but to remain in NC for the foreseeable future. Smart decision!

I get random recruiter contacts now and then, most of who I think don't actually read my info, as for one I am not aware of any of my online profiles saying I am looking for a new position, and some of the positions suggested for me are barely related to my CV, if at all.

My twin brother was chief of corporate fraud and forensics, worldwide, for several major accounting firms from 1987-2009. He even taught forensic accounting as a professor at the University of West Virginia. He still does some consulting at times.

Threw out some options to her (NM, AZ, NV) and she thought NM would be her first choice.
A quick internet search turned up a lot of new construction homes in Las Cruces for under $350K. 1500sf, 3 bed, 2 bath, although there are some 4/2.5's available in that price range, as well.
Question is, when will we pull the trigger? Have to sell the studio first, which may not happen for a few years.

We got more than expected. I just plowed about 8” worth and we are expecting a couple more before it ends.

Just checked outside weather stats:
Temp is 52 degrees
Humidity is 32%
Under a 🚩 (red flag) warning due to low humidity levels.
Forecast is for low 40’s tonight with windchills in the low 30’s. Tomorrow’s low is forecast to be mid-30’s with windchills in the 20’s. Highs are forecast to be in the mid-50’s to low 60’s.
Going out for dinner tonight at 7:30 PM - pulling out my long pants, sweater and leather mid-length coat that I haven’t worn in over 10 years. Ugh!!!

only problem is the plows have not come through. so at some point I will be back out to clean out the ice dam at the bottom. Always fun.
my daughter is in Boston and they are getting pounded. Not that she cars, since she lives on the 9th floor of a tower and doesn't have a car. She did say playing basketball in the indoor gym, watching the snow through the windows, was fun!

I get the occasional call from recuriters, usually ones I have worked with before. I wonder why they contact me as I haven't been in contact with them or needed their services for almost 20 years. I also get the occasional email stating they found my resume online which if they did it would be almost 20 years old. I know for a fact that my last two employers were not on any resume I have ever posted online.
