+1 on the Sunday blues. In my 2nd week of ER and have loved it although I wish my DW would stop filling up my new schedule :coolsmiley: T-bird Class of 2013 (done deal) DW Class of 2012

Thanks to all of you with your well wishes. Just a short update of day one post w*rk. Starting off sleeping 90 minutes more than normal followed by leisurely breakfast. Then took one of our dogs to the vet. Mentioned I was just retired and it still cost me $380:banghead: I did have enough to...

Well as a proud member of class of 2013 I will be offically ER'd at or before COB today. Been almost in a daze walking around BS'ing with others at w*rk. I cannot get the smile off my face ;D DW has been setting the stage with her ER last year and I am ready to add my name to the reached ER...

Welcome to the site. Finding a partner that is of like mindset can make all the difference in the world. :coolsmiley: Having the wrong one is like :banghead: and I have been lucky to find one on the same page as me (most of the time). :laugh: T-bird Class of 2013 (5 w*rking days to go) DW...

Thanx, something else to put on my Kindle. With ER in 5 more w*rkng days I will have the extra time to read it and the glut of other books that will be waiting for me come the morning of the 28th. ;D T-bird Class of 2013 DW Class of 2012

You are correct, if things were like this during my last w*rking years I may have fallen into the OMY trap ... not really but it probably would have been a thought ;D It will go by quickly and then off to the new world of ER. DW has been trying it out since her ER in May of 2012. She hasn't...

I have one on my computer here at w*rk and it says 8 days, 1 hour and 17 minutes (it counts the weekend :)) When you are this short w*rk really is alot of fun :dance: T-bird

I don't know if I could handle that many more days to go! Looking at 6 days to go here. :laugh: Oh, yah, CONGRATS and doesn't it feel real good to finally be there. :rofl: T-bird Class of 2013 (6 w*rking days to go) DW Class of 2012

I'll throw in my 2 cents on this question. When I first found the E-R.org site I was already three quarters of the way to my ER due to LBYM, saving/investing and most of all having the DW and myself in defined benefits retirement plans. E-R.org has reinforced many of my practices and has also...

This is definatly my case. Also find my inbox to have less stuff in it and it almost appears that they are just happy to have me come in and piddle around. Had one person this morning comment that she probably couldn't slap the smile off my face and she is right. It feels a bit strange but in...

Just checked you have until April 15 for your 2012 return. T-bird

The point is to WALK AWAY from it. DW had her concerns when I strongly encouraged her to ER last year. Now she volunteers 2 days a week and spends time doing what she wants. She hasn't quite said I was right but if her attitude is any indication she is just fine with "her" decision. :flowers...

They start so young these days. Never would have figured she would become a CPA. :coolsmiley: T-bird 14 days and counting

I like that. Can I steal I mean borrow that one? Reality for me is that my pile of dirt tends to be a lot higher before I stop digging. :facepalm: T-bird (15 w*rking days to go)
