Class distribution:

0 people in 30's. (0%)
16 people in 40's (20%)
41 people in 50's (53%)
9 people in 60's. (12%)
No age indicated 12 ( 15%)

Interesting.

I would consider anyone below 55 being an "early" early retiree and above 55+. being a "regular" early retiree.

Different needs and considerations of those two macro groups for sure.

Today's the day! I had my exit interview this morning, and I'm just hanging around waiting for my "goodbye" cake later. I'm so happy, I feel like wiggling

Added my date and confessed my age

 

[Aus_E_Expat]

I am on the list at No. 29 retiring in April 2015 at age 56.

April 2015 has now arrived - and I have put plans to retire on hold for a while.

The reality is I have been financially independent for a least the last 6 years but I am actually enjoying my current work and lifestyle. I don't work too hard - I am basically self employed and can work as much as I like when I like.

I have not worked out what I would do to fill in my time if I was to retire.

So I guess I may as well keep doing what I am doing.

Fortunate thing is I could change my mind at any time and be able to stop working.

I think this is a deferral for a maximum of 3 years, but it is not happening in April 2015 - my choice and my decision.

 

[iac1003]

2 more days then I go to 1 day a week if I can stand it. I worked until after 7 tonight. No slacking off before the final minute.

I chose this day to no longer work full-time long ago when I calculated 18 months of COBRA and then Medicare. My 63.5 birthday is 4/3.

Now with ACA it is not so necessary. But surprisingly I think my COBRA which kicks in on 7/1 (I have full HI at my current premium until then) might be a little cheaper. We shall see...

Just figured out how to add myself.

 

[jcretire77]

April 2015 was my RE goal, but my $$ goal has come, gone and now changed as I have found another large expense I was not planning for. So congrats to all those who are able to retire on time. I hope we do not drag this into 2016, but it is possible.

 

[iac1003]

Last. Full. Time. Day. Ever.

Done. Finito. The end. Happy dance.

Still working very little part-time. Will deal with that next Tuesday.

Last day was 1/1 15. Sort of miss the work. Don't miss the pressure.

Am wondering if I'll miss work also. Although next monday will be the first day I don't have to show up for work in many, many years. I've been unemployed in the past, but always figured I'd find another job.

I think a lot of people miss some things about work. There is a lot of social interactions that happen at work. Retiring early puts you out of those social interactions and most of the people your age are not retired when you retire early. Work also defines your day whether you like it or not). I miss having a company pay for my engineering hobby, but I don't mind the change in stress level... I can sleep!!!
Others may know better, but I expect many suggest to plan and schedule your time if you have issues with what to do. The key is to stay active.. this does not mean that you can't have down time. If you end up just watching TV or typing responses into forums... go out into the big blue room and experience life!

 

[Exgloveman]

I was in corporate America for 40 years and never worked out of anything other than an airplane, hotel room, or home office. I miss none of the travel, I do miss the expense account. I didn't know a scotch was $10. From what I can tell during the first 3 months of Fire is that the stress comes from "What will I do today" Not an issue in the summer but I will have to redirect myself in the winter

Virtually all of my social interactions were work-related; as you (and my wife) suggested, will attempt to schedule my time.

I'll miss traveling to other countries at w/o having to pay for it. Some places like Diego Garcia I could no longer go to anymore.

Count me in for Dec 2015. DH is already there @ 59 and I'll be barely 57.

 

[OBXretire]

Looks like April 30 is the new last day at work. Signed up for new health plan through my DW's work (school teacher) starting May 1, she retires July 16, with health and dental for life. My health will be about $1200 a year less than COBRA or ACA.

Howdy all,

Yesterday was the last day of work! I guess that means I get to join this thread, and the Class. I'm really looking forward to it.

 

[nuisance]

180 days to go! I started in the class of 2014, but I'm feeling much more sure this time around. I set up a count-down app on my phone, and I swear I don't check it more than once every other day or so.

In the meantime, congrats to everybody who's made it in the last few months. I'm excited for each and every one of you. Below's the list with my (hopefully) official date:

[jcretire77]

I believe that our OMY syndrome will push us into 2016. Enjoy your FIRE this year.

 

[Tdoug58]

Join the class

June 5, 2015 is my date! I'd like to join the class, i"ll be 57.
After 35 years of teaching band at the HS and Ms/JHS levels.
DW also teacher for one more year, raised 3 wonderful kids, last one of to college next year (mostly paid for).
Being a teacher, i have had the summers off to "test drive" retirement. I will have no problem!

 

[cbo111]

Well my plan to exit the work force later this year is still on track.....with a twist. We will list our home next month and when it sells I will retire and head to Sarasota. I told my boss about this and naturally he is not too keen about the squishiness of this plan but really cannot affect my actions. So, with any luck, a Summer retirement is on track

 

[RobLJ]

Looks like it's July 2, 2015. Reno, here we come, ready or not.
