Nova Era , @NurseDave . Gotta function as a QC person before allowing Ed to potentially suffer from Covid-induced lower standards. BTW It's GREAT!!!

If you like chorizo, it's wonderful stuff, whether hot or room temp.

Finished reading the Investment book just now. Picked it up yesterday during lunch, started reading it after work and our evening walk, and just finished it it (I'm off work today 
).
The only thing that it has given me something to mull over (and run through spreadsheets) is whether an annuity purchase makes sense even in times of low interest rates. For the record, I'm not a fan of annuities unless you have very few amounts of guaranteed/secure income during your retirement years. Still, it is something to consider as I function as a friendly pro-bono investment/retirement planner/advisor for more than just my wife and I, and not everyone's situation is the same (e.g. pensions and savings). I always tell them that my advice is worth every penny they paid.
Every things else in the book is something I have had as part of "the plan" for 20+ years. I'll probably re-read it on the weekend again. Yes, my life is exciting.
Let's see if the other book (waiting on notification from the library to pick it up)
BTW: Learning something new is not a requirement for me to judge whether something was worthwhile. "Knowledge Confirmation" is also a perfectly acceptable result.

There are oodles of books on how to accumulate $$$ for retirement. This one was interesting to me as it deals with how to draw it down.
My Mom use to bake fresh bread with sliced Chorizo in it...you need to try it my friend. That with a fine bottle of red wine...that’s livin right there!

Pulled out my Man -Card, slapped it down on the table and TOLD MY WIFE ...
Honey, I am asking your permission to tell work that I am retiring!
... and it was approved! Woot!
I'll talk with my Director next week and will accommodate whatever timetable they need to find someone and for me to train them up... even if it takes until the end of the year (but I won't tell them them that part).

It was indeed! Lasted long enough for me to recoup my education expenses, pay for our vacation last January, and buy an AS-D2!

@Dave in KY Actually, I don't know yet about your spoiler 
but that's a great observation/guess!
School: 2 year program that went straight through, no breaks, so 16 months (4 semesters)
Work: Just over 1 yr 1 month right now, so I figure it'll be close.
