Congratulations!! I am looking forward to the day that I can say I am retired!! I got a few years to go!!

I tried retiring at 48. After a few months I was bored out of my flippin mind. Could do anything I wanted by myself because everyone I knew was at work. I made it about 9 months and jumped back into the labor force. Now I'm pushing 50-60 hours a week and seriously considering giving it a second go around.

Shhhhh, you might upset people lol

I’m looking at the end of the year, but only because I may not have a choice. I would like to stay where I’m at until 62, which is 3 more years

Congratulations

You just might change that to passing the Bar, just saying.

Congrats Doug!

My plan was to work 2 more years but Covid killed those plans. Now i just have to worry about health insurance gap for 1 year. Company paid me 3 months of Cobra that will actually cover 6 because my daughter is no longer eligible. From a financial standpoint i dont need to work. I will either work part time or do something in my field if it is within 10 miles. Maybe when i get ready to go part time Johnny will be looking for someone to sweep floors. I can walk there.

Congrats! I look forward to it!

Best of luck to you in retirement. Long ways off for me, I hope.

Thanks!

My actual official date is next week, but I’ve been off for the past 6 weeks. So I guess I’m retired. I didn’t really so much want to retire, it just made no sense to stay on any longer. Max pension date came and after that you still have to pay pension contributions. So basically you’re paying a 13.5% penalty to come to work with zero benefits for your money.

I agree I’ll probably end up with another job soon, at least it can be one to keep the mind and body occupied and not out of necessity.

Retired in Feb. 2019. It was great until the attack by China. We could go to restaurants, fish, camp, shop, shake hands with some new people, etc. Now we are prisoners in America. It sucks now. The 4 walls are closing in.

Retired back in March and loved being lazy for three months and then started getting bored. Got a call from my former employer wanting me to come back to train some new guys. Start tomorrow and will make more a month than I did when I retired. Makes me think I was not getting paid my value when I was there. But I will take the money and go on another couple of trips with it.
