Retired yesterday

[jerrob]

I retired the first of the year and I honestly hate it. I volunteer at an animal shelter 3-4 days a week just to keep busy.

I truly wish you good health and happiness in your retirement Sir.

The people who say this have jobs where they rub lotion on supermodels before photo shoots, or taste-test new ice cream flavors. People with real jobs work every day of their working lives.

Well, she doesn't have a sunburn does she!

If I ever meet you I’m going to ask you “how are you enjoying your retirement?” And the only correct response will be “more and more every day!”

 

[femurphy77]

You suck!





I hope to one day also in about 1 yr 225 days but whose counting?




Congratulations!!!!

Congrats! Whenever someone asks me how I like retirement, my response is "It's definitely all its cracked up to be!"

I took early retirement in March 2021.
It was the right time and the right severance.
Still wanting to find a part time gig for spare cash to assist with the expensive hobby I have chosen but all in all great to be able to get projects done at my pace.

Congratulations!
I retired at 65 for the same reason. But I found out the mental health aspect made it worth it alone. I wish that I had done it sooner. Now I'm not even nervous when I hear an email come in.

You know you can travel. It is fencing season around here in these parts. Plus there is barn work that needs to be done.

And if you wait a few weeks we could even have a conversation!

I didn't realize there was a fencing season.

It's been 1 year and 4 months for me. I highly recommend it.
At first I thought I might hang out an e-shingle and get some consulting work. Nope, I'm having far too much fun.

Congrats on retiring. My best advice is to find something that will get you out of bed every morning. Been retired since 2007 and I'm now considered part of the furniture at a south Indy restaurant.............unless I have an early tee time!

Yes silly it is. Starts when the temps are not in the 100’s

I can see that, especially for outdoor sword fighting!
