Took an early retirement from Boeing a couple months ago....hard to get used to. Any advice from others who have retired....thanks in advance!
Congratulations!
I retired early at 51 myself.
3 months later I had shingles from working like a maniac for myself... I have always done side work... with my day job almost relaxing. After retiring I work like a madman on my own 300 page to do list and the shingles got me.
That helped me find a balance on working and relaxing.
Work: buying distressed properties fixing them up and flipping them. Small construction jobs and other "low on the radar/taxman" things... like making lumber.

A man told me 20-odd years ago that life is supposed to be balanced. I thought he was very wrong... but found out otherwise.
Congratulations again on the retirement and I hope you find a whole lot of fun stuff to do.
