That's a great Bucket list. I haven't made a formal one but I know what I want to achieve by spring but mainly I just want to keep making progress in my downsizing every day...even if it's just one or two drawers.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you will make great progress and hope some good social time is in there too.
DeleteWonderful list you have. I have been thinking of a few goals to accomplish this year but haven't managed to get them down on paper as of yet.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Thanks. I go back and forth about whether or not to write them down. Giving it a try again.
DeleteThe SECURE Act was definitely signed into law, so do check. We haven't even received procedural instruction yet though, just notice that it's coming.
ReplyDeleteI thought the same but there is nothing on TIAA-CREF's website yet. Don't know the effective date. Either way is fine.
DeleteWow, what an ambitious list. I like that it incorporates projects around the house as well as educational activities, time with loved ones, and social outings. Hope you will link up with us on 01.21 and then share your updates in February and March. Look forward to reading your progress. Happy new year!
