rifletom, I failed to mention....... on the night that I should've been going to work, the wife and I celebrated(went all out) with a nice meal - Top Raman noodles and cheese sandwiches!!! Hopefully that won't be something we "have" do do for the next 30 years!  memtb

Congrats!!! I retired four months ago and let me tell you,it is great!I closed that chapter of my life and opened a new one.I feel better,get a few more hours of sleep,lost a few pounds,eat better,don't feel stressed and just feel totally relaxed.Even though I've only been gone four months,it seems like four years.Time really slowed down for me.My life doesn't seem so rushed anymore.I like it,I hope you do too.Enjoy!

As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............

Congrats! 16 years for me and never once looked back.
Enjoy every minute of it, preferably with a gun in your hand!

I retired 3 yrs. ago. Have never been a high bucks earner, but have watched my spending. Now find myself owning 2 houses; one in NE Wis. and the other in SW NC. Looking to sell my Wisconsin place and move to NC. Lucky for me I own both places without a mortage. Never had any idea I could buy a place in NC (or anywhere) til I looked into my savings and how to actually use them. Now am southward bound and feeling great about it. Retirement is what we spend our whole live working for. Enjoy.

I retired fifteen years ago....early retirement that is. I was 57 and my company offered me a package I could not turn down. All my debt had been eliminated prior to retiring.
My advice to anyone considering retirement is to get with a professional person regarding aspects of retiring that you don't understand. Follow that person's advice and adjust your life accordingly.
Endeavor to retire; you won't regret it.
The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first.

Rifletom: I hope you enjoy your retirement as much as I enjoy mine!
I only wish I had retired sooner.
I have been collecting my pension and taking it easy for 19 full years now (plus I started collecting social security 7 years ago)!
If I had known that retirement would be so wonderful I would have retired 3 years sooner.
Enjoy the bird Hunting.
