Renegade50: The VarmintWife has retired TWICE now!
She worked at and then bought/owned a very successful business out on the west coast. She sold that business after 25 years of ownership and 'we" retired to Montana (our dream).
Little did I (we!) know that the VarmintWife was (is?) a "workaholic"!
She did not stay retired for one year til she took a job with the local school district here in Montana.
Finally this year she retired "again" with 23 years in the Teachers Unions pension plan so she gets that retirement (pension) check on the last business day of the month.
Her very healthy social security check has been coming mid-month for 5+ years now - so she has money coming in fairly often.
I agree with your philosophy as I retired when I was 50 years old and kick myself in the ass every day for NOT retiring sooner.
Bottom line is you only live once and retirement was/is so much better than w-o-r-k-i-n-g!
