This afternoon - I meet with a representative from Fidelity Investments. This is part of organizing my retirement. I will retire from my job at the end of October (I have been out on medical leave since April 2009). I'm not going back, just quietly retiring.
I need to figure out what to do with my pension, so that I don't incur tax costs. I suspect that I will rollover my money into an IRA. I'll see what Fidelity recommends.
All of this "finality" is a bit scary. I feel old. Done. Wrapping up loose ends. Weird. It's a reminder that things are different. I don't have all the time in the world. But I feel responsible. It will be better for my family. No loose ends.
Then, after all my treatment is complete - I will look for a new job in the new year.
