Congrats!  I heartily recommend retirement.  Don't see how we ever got as much accomplished as we did while working.  I've got a long project list with stuff being added every day.  I second the motion for those still employed or who own a business.  Do like Dave Ramsey says: "Live like no one else so you can live like no one else".  In other words, get out of debt and save. Invest in your future so you can enjoy it.

Wishing you good health, good luck and great success in your retirement. 

Enjoy your time with your family

I'm not retired.  I work allot and I'm on the hamster wheel.  The faster I go the faster it spins.

When I was in my mid to late 40's I used to think I would work till I died.  Not because I had to, because I wanted to.

I turned 50 this year and I've really been thinking how good retirement would be.  I don't have to worry about paying the bills and I'm already pretty much set up.  I am slowly throttling it back.  Every time I go to a SAAC convention, a car show, Barrett Jackson or just have a nice conversation with a fellow forum member I always tell myself, "you gotta do this more often".

I know.....life is short......I'll never wish I had worked more when I'm on my death bed......but I gotta tell ya, when I am able to buy a cool car or do what I want without any constraints, it spurs me on to keep working to enjoy the lifestyle.

It's like drinking, it's a hard habit to break and I am somewhat addicted to it.  Perhaps it's just my destiny.  I know I really love the journey and all of you on the SAAC forums help make it that much more enjoyable.

Here's to hopefully retiring soon and here's to you all.  Your retirement stories inspire me.

Congratulations on your retirement! 

I also retired 4 months ago in my mid 50s.  Very thankful to get out early with my health.  We bought a small winnebago,  and am finally getting to see our beautiful country without rushing back to work.   Enjoying Maine as I write this.  So much to see and do.

I early retired a few years ago and started doing all the stuff around the house, then I finished them......then started importing Mustangs to sell them in Europe. Now I am working harder and more hours than at any time in my life previously.

Another great thing about retirement is Naps, lots of Naps

Congratulations on your retirement! My first retirement was forced at 38 by the state of CA. 23 surgeries later I couldn't stand it anymore and took out a student loan to go to flight school. I couldn't stand sitting on my fourth point of contact anymore once I was able to recover my health. ( By the Grace of God)
I have been enchanted with the sky since I was a young child.  However, admittedly I would rather be on the flight deck now that standing in the door waiting for a green light to exit the aircraft.

Be sure to stay mentally and physically occupied. Too many don't and it's never good health-wise. My father worked until he was 75. He turned 84 on 17 Sept.

Good luck and God speed in your new endeavor.
