Well sitting here at work on my last day going thru the forum. Just won't be the same, but at least I'll have more time to look at home. The feeling is awesome.

It's been great for me. I sleep when I want, go where I want to,go and I have time to drive the Shelby when ever I want. A big plus, they missed me so much at work they hired me back as a contractor part time working from home. No meetings, no long commute, and I get paid very well.
The biggest problem with retirement is remembering what day is it?
Congrats on the new part of life, enjoy every bit of it, it's awesome 😎
Owned since 1971, now driven over 245,000 miles, makes me smile every time I drive it and it makes me feel 21 again.😎

Congrats! I have what seems a looooong way to go to get there. Maybe it won't happen. I never assume too much.

I started working on the "I'll get to it when I retire" list when I called it quits 4 years ago.  I haven't made a dent!  Don't get me wrong.  I've been busy but for everything I cross off 2 more get added!
Then there's the "honey-do" list.  Just thinking about that makes me want to go back to sleep!  I have major problems with the day of the week also.  Thank you, cell phone, for staying by my side.  But retirement is great!  I was a pharmacist, both manager and staff, for many years.  I'm glad those days of having my head feel like it was going to explode are gone.

Congratulations!

I've enjoyed mine.  But I was sort of "forced".  I'd not kept up with the ever changing world of computing.  But we were WELL set.  My first year I spent half of it assisting my parents.  They are doing much better this year physically.  But unfortunately my sister was stricken ill and passed away within weeks.  So this year has been spent dealing with her estate.  But there are still 6 Saturdays a week now!  I nap if I want.  Do chores.  Have time to do projects.
For those still working and young people, ALWAYS pay yourself (fund your retirement) FIRST.  That was how I was laid off at 59 and a half and knew I never had to work again.

Congratulations! I joined the ranks 3 months ago and have enjoyed every minute. Have not even started to put a dent into my collector car list with other focus' but there will be time for the cars at some point.

Congrats!  Enjoy your free time and fun drives with your cars on weekdays when the roads are clear and everyone else is slaving away at the office.   

Be sure to send the guys at the office a text and a car photo every once in a while to let them know you're doing OK.  ;D
