Congrats, Ken!.....

.....I've got a while to go before I can enjoy retirement, but then again I don't want to rush the years away either:)

Wife and I are in the same boat Cindy, we're ready mentally to do it now but don't want to wish all that time away. Financially we're almost there, but got a bit to go.

My father never got to retire, he died of cancer at 65.

My Grandfather was pretty much the same Manatee. He retired at 65 and was diagnosed with terminal cancer 2 months later, he spent 3 of the next 4 months in the hospital until he passed. Damn shame when someone works so hard all their life and then doesn't get to enjoy retirement.
 
Retired one week ago and not feeling as happy as I thought I would. Doctor said to give it a few months to adjust.

Oh yeah, I remember it now... the initial adjustment period.

I remember just pacing the floor at times.

But it didn't take long to adjust to doing whatever I want, whenever I want.

You'll get used to the freedom.

Life is good :)
 
Kudos and Congratulations, Ken! I'm working on year 8 and loving every minute of it. Looking forward to when the wife retires so we can do more stuff together. Well, not too much stuff as I don't want to smother her :rolleyes:. I'll never forget the last year I worked, it was a daily struggle to force myself out the door to get through another day. I knew it was my last year though, so I knew each day I completed got me one day closer to retirement - w00t! Anyway, hope you have many more years of retirement and good health to go along with it.
