Even being single, I still feel the need to be responsible/maintain a self sufficient lifestyle so here is my 10 step plan for losing the good paying job and enjoying life a lot more by the end of 2015. I plan to in the winter of 2015 make the permanent move to the Florida keys following a defined savings/cost-cutting plan I started in 2010. Still got some saving to do and some mortgage payments to make but come hell or high water (hopefully not high water!) I will be living full time in the Florida keys by October of 2015 while I am still young enough to enjoy it!! Step 1: get the Keys house (done) Step 2: visit and fix up the house and dive/fish when its possible. (work in progress) Step 3: keep on saving and paying the mortgages (work in progress) Step 4: fix up and rent out my current home.(just starting this one) Step 5: sell most of my useless junk that clutters up my current house. Step 6: September/October 2015 make the move to Florida and use up all my remaining paid time off from work and then resign my position. Step 7:Buy a newer recreational center console fishing boat to park out back in the canal. Step 8: Find a job I where I will actually enjoy working!!! Step 9: if Step 8 Doesn’t work out/ I run low on moola I take a job working from home as a help desk analyst and go boating and diving as much as the weather will allow!!! Step 10: as the saying goes, LIFE IS GOOD
