I retired at age 54 and apparently I was the only one retired because all my friends still had to work. It can get lonely but my wife filled in the blanks.. We recently were thinking we'd RV like Terry Miller but RV costs have suddenly jumped to where we're not going to invest in one until the Covid19 has diminished. The virus is at fault for the rising prices.

Yes, the RV market is up around 600% from what we have read on the internet. The smaller bumper pull RV’s that folks can pull with an SUV are the big sellers. The higher end 5th wheels and motor coaches are up as well but not at the level the bumper pulls are.
I’m predicting a buyers market this fall when those folks put the kids back in school and are looking at 6 months of payments plus storage fees while not getting to use their RV.
In April the Oklahoma State Parks registered the highest number of campers in their history.

Well it's fast approaching but now with the new options available to me I'm not sure if I'm going then or staying a little longer. Gotta see where the economy is then. Stock market and future career opportunities.
It's looking good I think and the election will be over so more changes ahead I'm sure. Nov. 1 is my actual eligibility date but by working one more month, my retirement check goes up $112 a month. No brainer there. And my longevity date if Feb 2 so if I stay for that I'll get one more check for the year for longevity. That will be $3000 so why not lol. Also the longer I stay the more my annual leave accumulates as I exhausted all my leave when I was recovering from my health issues last year and before. I earn 16 hours a month and they will pay me for a max of 460 hours leave. At my current salary that will be a about $15k if I were to get to the max. Got 120 hours now
