I've been reading (and occasionally responding to) this forum for a while, all the while getting more and more excited about the prospect of ER. Well...I couldn't hold out any more. I put in my letter yesterday, with 12/31/06 as my final date. I was originally going to leave next June when I turn 60, but figured..what the hay...if I can afford to do it sooner, why not? I just wanted to be on payroll til the end of the year so I could collect my 9% 401K match. Also, if I leave prior to my anniversary date of January 18th, I can sell back my remaining 15 days of vacation. If I wait til after that date, I can only sell back the 5 I can carry over. A no brainer, IMHO. Anyway, the sense of relief is almost overwhelming...only 128 calendar days, or 84 work days to go!
