We’re all going on a summer holiday

Well, I am going on a summer holiday with my wife, and I think it might be best if I am not constantly stressing about getting the latest blog post up at RetireJapan.

Consequently, I am going to take a break from the site during August. There will be no regular posts until September (if I get inspired I may write something, but no promises). Coaching will also be on hiatus, but there are a few open slots in September if you want to get your finances sorted before the end of the year.

It was a huge relief to see that the current temperatures where we are going are 12-20 (Tallinn, Estonia) and 17-22 (Plentzia, Spain). Suits me a bit better than the 30-35 we have in Sendai this week!

If you are craving a bit of personal financial advice the Forum will still be operating, and I’ll probably be on Facebook a bit.

Have a great summer, and see you again in September 🙂

  1. Have a great time, Ben. I’m enjoying the mild UK temperatures. Far preferable to the mid-30s where I live in Japan.

    1. Yeah, I’m starting to reconsider my retirement plans… wouldn’t want to be here if it gets significantly hotter 🙁

  2. This Taifu coming has finally brought some great swell to Shonan South of Tokyo. I hit it today and will tomorrow as well.
    Ocean breezes are fantastic.
    My mansion wide windows on two corners facing Southeast with a wonderful roof garden is keeping us cool. Still, have no need for the air conditioner.
    Love retirement, but hate the yen rate.

  3. Everyone have a great holiday. If I get lucky I will be in Boston visiting family.

  4. Everyone have a great holiday. With any luck I will be in Boston visiting mom.

  5. Retire in Hokkaido! Its great, no rainy season and no hot humid summer (or very short) … just have to enjoy the snow, at least the houses are built for it

  6. Cool Ben. Hope your break was good. I got in some good waves, and my nenkin stuff is finally coming through. Don’t need much to retire in Japan as long as your have no debt. Mortgage done. Owarimashita.
