Just curious what some your you RE's did on your first few days of retirement.
I had always joked I was going to go down to the busy intersection corner near my place of employment and wave and smile at the people having to still go in to work.
I didn't do that.
I also intended to sleep in. But for about three or four days I kept waking up at the same time anyway even though I did not set the alarm. But by day four or five, I was sleeping in, until my body woke up of its own accord.
My wife and I went out to dinner the second evening to celebrate. Just the two of us. No big party.
All in all, I had no big adjustment. I just kind of slid right into the swing of retirement life.
What kind of experiences did some of the rest of you have? let's hear the stories.
