I think I’m gonna retire and start inane threads for a living. It's pretty easy to see why so many people hate your guts. You are a wretched piece of chit on your best day. Thanks for your insight dick.

Been waiting for Direct Deposit for nine years now.
Hard to describe how it feels to wake up every day knowing that I can do what ever I feel like, more or less. Most days, the China Doll brings me the first cup of coffee while I lay there and decide.
Usually, I decide to have some more coffee. Just do like me and start with one big cup so you can spend more time contemplating everything else.  Dang! Thought 20oz WAS a big cup.
What fresh Hell is this?

I retired from the state highway patrol at 50 years of age after 30 years of service with the state. I piddled around for 5 years before the local sheriff talked me into coming to work for him.
The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!

I've been retired 5 years this month. I don't miss working a bit. I have plenty to keep me busy, too busy in fact.

And not working except at what I want to.

I think I’m gonna retire and start inane threads for a living. It's pretty easy to see why so many people hate your guts. You are a wretched piece of chit on your best day. Thanks for your insight dick. Ps. 133 Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! 2 It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes! 3 It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the Lord has commanded the blessing, life forevermore.

"Retired" 14 years ago at age 62, but I have had at least one or two consulting contracts each year since. The last one expired December 31st, and I chose not to renew it. This year, I turned down a couple of new ones that I was offered. Now, almost 8 months later, I am starting to think that I should find something to do besides mowing and watering the grass, and helping with the house work. However, I'm headed up to Colorado this weekend to spend a week with my older daughter and her family, hiking and sight-seeing. That will take my mind off the subject for a little while.

Some days it takes most of the day for me to do practically nothing...

Retired at age 61, 7.5 years ago.
Miss a few of the people that I worked with, but don’t miss the job one iota.

Still working. If I didn't need health care I could leave at 62 in 120 days but I'm going to have to stay until 65. Full SS is at 66 1/2 but if my investments are doing good I'm leaving at 65.
I used to like my job but current management is draining every drop of joy out of it.
