I retired a little over 2 years ago at 56, but my wife continued to work . . . mainly to pick up a pension that wouldn't come into effect until she reached 55 years old and 15 years of employment. In the past 2 years, I'll bet she's said "I wish I was retired" about a thousand times. She finally reached the goal, and tomorrow is her last day. Somehow I feel that I'm going to be even more retired now that she is, although she claims she is going to keep me working a little harder now that she can watch over me. In any event, this is a big turning point for the both of us . . . (and the end of paychecks coming in).
