Not having a job is great, but not having a paycheck kinda sux.

I will never retire, I do whatever I want whenever I decide to do it, I just cannot imagine not having anything to do but go golfing or fishing, I just have to have something going on. I am very blessed to be self employed and have my son's working in the business with me, they pretty much take care of day to day operations, I just kind of hang around and act like i am working.

Same here, with all the corona bs I’ll probably hold off for a before doing something else. You’re correct it’s weird not going to the station every 3rd day after 30+ years of it.

Worked in the corporate world for a number of years and decided to chuck it. Started my on small service business with the plan of closing up at 65 . I had a very good run and actually retired a year earlier than planned but kept a small side business going. Had I not done that I would have gone crazy. Now I work on my time and schedule.

I am retiring in march no matter what. I have 5 years money to live on out of the market. The rest still in the market. The longer you put off retirement the less healthy years you got to enjoy it

I left full time work at 51, then worked part time at Academy until I was 53 to stock up on fishing supplies and so forth using the employee discount. Then retired full time. Life is hard. LOL Fixing to retire academy that’s a good idea
I got all day I’m retired
