Congratulations Pablo. We are the same age. I semi-FIRED two years ago and haven't regretted it. My daily work routine has been replaced by my daily exercise routine. So I'm still quite busy, but only doing the things I choose to do.
You will find your own routine in time that works best for you. It's like starting a whole new career, but one where you only do what you feel like doing.

Congrats Pablo. I fired 5 years ago. DH just joined me in Feb. We are still trying to figure out a routine...but too busy to establish a normal routine! Having a great time. Good luck with the new normal! Doing what you want when you want.

... a traditional DB pension that kicks in at 57 and that will equal, inflation-adjusted, my recent NET salary...

Looks like you are in good shape. Unless you are a big spender, your stash should more than carry you for the next 10 years. Enjoy!

When the clock struck one....My RE was 1 hour ago. Feels good! When I was leaving work my boss asked me "Any regrets?" Without even contemplating I said "About what?" I guess he just didn't get it. I'm good at what I do, but it doesn't define me as a person and I'm done. Endofstory.

Congrats Pablo! I am about 5 years younger than you and hope to be go through a major gear change in five. Always see myself working just more of the jobs, projects and environments I want. Been selling my soul for probably about 18 years now.
