One of the best things about retirement is the schedule!

I retired 9 years ago the first time, and ended up 4 months later going back to work for another 4 years. I haven't worked now for 5 years and I am loving it. Due to some health problems I wouldn't be able to do much in the way of work now if I wanted to (at least not what I used to do) so it is great that I don't have to anymore.
Enjoy your retirement as long as your health keeps up with you!

I am not old enough to retire. But I was laid off and now I am still looking for employment.
I wish you the best of luck and great health in your retirement.

If you enjoy your retirement half as much as I have you'll be fine. I retired 10 years ago and the only thing I miss are paid holidays!

Young guy next door to me asked me what I did for a living and told him a truth - open my eyes in the morning. AS a reward get to do anything I please. Retirement is good.
No fear, no doubt, all in, balls out.

We sure have a few things in common. I am not retired yet, but I am planning on it in about two years. I also graduated in 70 and I live in Winchester. We are just a few miles apart, except, I am in Virginia. Congrats on the next chapter!

Congratulations.
I've got about 9 years to go and I'll have 40 years of accumulated projects and plans that I'll be behind on when I do.

2 years, work part time to help new guys and the boss. Downside is less money and more time to spend it. I can go to the range during the week now. I do not miss the traffic which is worse now. I really like the afternoon naps.
Downside is wife is chronically disabled, so a lot of time is spent doing doctor/therapist stuff, and I have a burden (not right word, I owe my wife) of housework, shopping, and other things.

Retirement is great, I eased into it a 49 years of age. That was 2.5 years ago. No more stress in my life, and the wife and I get along so much better now..
Good luck
