Today is the fifth anniversary of my retirement. I couldn't be happier with how it has gone so far. Thanks to all on this forum who helped make the transition a smooth one!
Congratulations! Was it scary, at first, retiring at that time, what with the Great Recession and all?
A bit scary. Smartest (and gutsiest) thing I did though was just hold the course and actually added to positions with final stock option cash payout.
In hindsight it was perfect timing and incredibly smart rebalancing. Genius!

Thanks for the kind words.
Someone asked me what I have been doing with all my time. One example...I have logged 2881 miles walking golf courses in Colorado and Arizona the last five years.
Do you have a list of those courses you are walking? One of my big aggravations is trying to arrange vacation golf and being told I have to take a cart. I just move on to the next course on my list, but it would be very helpful if courses would be more upfront about walking.
BTW, I'll be in CO in a couple of weeks and looking for places to play near Denver and along I-70 east toward KS.
Off topic, but clearly important to you.
