I had PC equipment for many years at work, always updated and maintained by our IT department. Always were problems. I had Apple products back then at home and never had any serious issues. Now retired, I only have Apple products, laptop, ipad, phone, watch, appleplay in the car. I am still...

Will also be 7 years for me in December. I still pinch myself everyday for this incredibly liberating time of my life. After 34 years at the corporation, there is nothing about my past career that I miss; the work, the politics, the mind numbing meetings, even the people. Each morning when I...

The townhouse style condo I owned many years ago was great. Everything was done, grass, snow, outside maintenance, etc. It was built with 2x6 wood construction with good insulation and I never heard my neighbour's, it was very quiet. It was very easy to lock and vacation! If I ever buy another...

Congratulations! I retired at 57 now about 6 years ago. I still pinch myself everyday, it is truly liberating and I love every minute of it. Retirement is the best job I ever had! I am sure you are going to love it!

I have never had the flu shot and the last time I had the flu was about 25 years ago, it was fairly mild. Well, last weekend I did catch the flu, it came on super fast. I wasn't too sick luckily but felt fatigued for about 3 days, and a sore throat for about the same. It has now been 5 days and...

Went for a couple of nice long walks. Picked up a few groceries to make a big stir fry, gotta take it easy for a few days! Did some year end work on the computer. All in all a pretty laid back day.

So sorry to hear of your loss. My deepest condolences to you.

So sorry to read about your sister. I pray that her remaining time is as peaceful and comfortable as it can possibly be.

5 years or retirement and still in phase 1! I don't miss the work, the people, nothing. When I think back to the hours of mind numbing meetings and politics, I pinch myself to make sure that it is true that I am done with that crap. Retirement has been a gift and extremely liberating, I try to...

SFH's in my area were selling the day they hit the market at well over list price during January '22 - mid May. Now they are on the market for quite a few days and I am seeing price reductions after 30 days, as well as listings being terminated.

After a 34 year long career, there is nothing I miss, the work, the deadlines and even the people. By the time I retired I could barely sit through another 3 or 4 hour mind numbing meeting, and then rehash it all over again the next day. I have been through all the nearly annual management...

I have been retired for 4 years and have set myself up to never have a worry about money again. I started investing very early and had several pieces of real estate, though I sold them because I prefer passive dividend income in the SM. My friends and family would be shocked to see my assets and...

O'Keefes Working Hands works for me. I used to use New Skin, but it never really repaired the split skin. Just rub working hands into your finger tips a few times a day to hopefully get some relief.

Congratulations! Well done.

I absolutely love the freedom of retirement, it is very liberating. However I did find that I needed a little bit of structure in the day. So 5 days a week I watch the morning news or something while I stationary bike at home. And usually do at least one other exercise related thing everyday...
