Great post. The dedication that you and your wife have is admirable, and inspiring. You beat me to early retirement by about 9 years (I RE'd at 54 1/2), so I'm envious. I know your journey involved a lot of hard work and discipline. Enjoy your free time now, you have definitely earned it. I think you will love retirement....I know I do. The only advice I have is to stay active and make your health a priority from this point forward (as well as having fun, of course). I know that my health improved after retirement, after I started really taking the time to cook healthy meals and eat really well. Also, a daily exercise routine is now part of my life (it was not during my working years), and I don't anticipate ever changing that.
