You are now a "Seenager"
You get an allowance.
You have your own place.
You have your own car.
You do not have a curfew.
Get outside and play.

Can you retired guys let me in on the secret of how you transitioned from the working world to nothing? About 65% of the retires I know start drinking before lunch, make the early bird special by 3pm and eat, drink some more and then waddle off to bed just after sunset. Get up the next morning and repeat.

I have 92 days left to work. I’ll have to figure it out. Whatever it is, sure as hell won’t start at 4:30 in the morning anymore. I should have enough money coming in to do a little something.

No.
I retired 2 years ago.
I wish I still was working. It is depressing.

If you have your health, go find another job. Everybody is looking for good help and will pay for it.
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

Start in the kitchen
Get rid of that stinky plastic Gladware
Then commence to sorting nuts and bolts, cutting socks up into rags
After that start posting crap daily about Sidney Powell

Can you retired guys let me in on the secret of how you transitioned from the working world to nothing? Congrats! Wife and I are currently transitioning into retirement also. Her last day is tomorrow and she'll be fully retired. I cut my hours back a month ago and am working 3 days on and 4 off. That'll continue for a couple years before I'm completely done. Been out shooting all day and just stopped at the local pub for a cold one. May go bird hunting tomorrow... I built a shop 5 years ago and haven't had time to do chit with it and that's about to change...

Gregintenn: Get ready for non-stop low stress opportunities for fun and relaxation.
My working life was so hectic it was indeed a bit tough to learn how to slow down and learn how to relax and treat myself EVERYDAY - not just on the occasional weekend day but EVERYDAY!
The second hardest thing I had to get used to was my retirement checks coming every month along with my social security and investment checks - and I was just enjoying myself all the time and this money just keeps rolling in.
I hope you have a long, fruitful, enjoyable and healthy retirement.
And I swear this is true - if I had known how wonderful "retirement" would be, I would have retired 4 years earlier when I first became eligible.
I am in my 24th full year of retirement now and its been heaven on a no-stress earth for me.
Congratulations to you, are in order.
Yee-haw.
Hold into the wind

I retired last year and took up flying. Got my private pilot license and am now working on my instrument rating. My friends ask me if I’m gonna buy an airplane and I tell them no, I’m gonna get my commercial license and fly skydivers😀

with retirement about 20 months away, i do some thinking on the subject myself. probably be in vacation mode for a few months, overeating, over drinking, over sleeping and then figure it out from there.
My diploma is a DD214

Can you retired guys let me in on the secret of how you transitioned from the working world to nothing? You should be jumping up and down with joy.Do you realize how many folks cannot afford to retire or die before they can?  Plant a garden, fish,hunt,travel,take a drive in the country enjoy life.

VarmintGuy is correct. I have way more money in retirement. Pension and investments every month. I now get paid 3 times a month for not working. Life only gets better! Congrats!!
