I have been with the company 25+ years and have decided to retire early at 61, Jan. 2nd 2026 will be my last day. I will take a hit on my pension, that has added stress and anxiety.
I want to get out while I still have my health (well most of it) ;)

Our benefits department needs 3 months advanced notice to start the process of my pension.
I have a meeting setup next Tuesday to drop the bomb on my boss, not sure how she will take it. But I have thought long and hard about this and it is the time for me to get out.

Since my former boss retired 16 months ago, things have not been the same and I feel that the environment is no longer a happy one.
Work has become more stressful, something I do not need in my life, Got enough already.
 

You know you best and it sounds like you are taking some great readings from your
body and mind. I wish you a peaceful and smooth transition once it begins.
 
I got out at 55 and glad I did. Soon as I hit 65 it seemed like my warranty ran out and all the health problems started. So I had ten years of easy, stress free living.
