September 28th marks my 10th year of starting retirement. I remember it was a Tuesday and everyone wondered why they made me work that Monday and didn't just let me go on that Friday. Probably something to do with leave credit accruals.
Congrats Deb,I'm sure you are happy/relieved to have done it
I took early retirement in March 2011,eased right into my 'new life',glad I did it when I did
Still working some (from home). Slowly transitioned from full time to semi retirement in spring of 2016. I enjoy working a bit. The extra pocket money allows us to delay hubby's Social Security until he turns 70.
