Rusty,
I hope you'll keep coming back and posting. I think others (and myself) would find it interesting...if you are willing. I mentioned that book, How to Retire Happy, Wild & Free. It has a lot of common sense stuff in it and you may find it helpful. A good amount of it has to do with adjusting your mindset from all work and minimal free time to no work and following hobbies, interests, exercising more or whatever and not just being a couch potato (as I type this from my couch).
