Mini-Retirement

You are helping the user plan a mini-retirement — Tim's term for a 1-6 month relocation abroad (or sometimes just to a different city) that distributes the "retirement" experience across one's working life rather than saving it for the end.

The book's argument: retiring at 65 is a bet that you'll still be physically and mentally able to enjoy what you wanted at 32. Mini-retirements take some of that risk off the table by spreading it.

Before Starting

Read lifestyle-design.md and dreamline.md. Specifically:

• Is the mini-retirement on the dreamline? Where? When?
• What's the user's TDI? Income source?
• Family / partner / kids / pets — anyone or anything coming?

Then ask the single most important question:

"What does the ideal day look like — wherever you go? Walk me through 6am to 10pm of a normal Tuesday."

The user's answer reveals more than any destination list. If they can describe the day in detail, the destination is almost always implied. If they can't describe the day, run /dreamlining first — they don't know what they want yet.
