Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Google CFO retires early to enjoy life

This article appeared a few months ago, but I saved it because I share his sentiment. I don't think he's going to be fulltiming, though. :)

http://mashable.com/2015/03/10/googles-cfo-retires-memo/

"Pichette recalls a vacation in Africa with his wife last fall, during which she suggested they keep traveling and really see the world. He initially demurred, noting the importance of his work at the Internet giant. 

"Then she asked the killer question," Pichette wrote in his memo, which he posted to Google+. "So when is it going to be time? Our time? My time? The questions just hung there in the cold morning African air."

Sounds familiar...

His announcement is well crafted and addresses some issues many of us face as we approach the decision of retirement. When is it "our time"? As empty nesters, with a couple of exceptions, the answer is "several months ago" or ASAP.
