Week 8: Taking Time Off Is How Retirement Actually Starts

I didn’t expect this, but taking a vacation early in this process felt like one of the most important steps toward retirement so far. In Week 8 of Retired or Rehired, I talk through why using PTO while you’re still working isn’t irresponsible — it’s practice. Practice slowing down, traveling again, and remembering what life is supposed to feel like outside of work. For a lot of us in our 50s, we were taught to save time and money for “later.” But later isn’t guaranteed, and unused vacation time doesn’t make you disciplined — it keeps you stuck. This isn’t about luxury travel or early retirement. It’s about starting to live again now, even if you’re still working, and even if the trips are smaller than they used to be. If you’re trying to figure out whether you’re retired… rehired… or somewhere in between, this one’s for you.
