I posted the question because so many people were telling me I had lots of earnings years left and I should be hustling. literally nobody except for my wife backed me up on my decision to retire. It's crazy to me that so many people are money hungry that they don't take the time to appreciate...

Well said

Thanks, I feel the same. My wife and daughters love the fact that I'm around. I want my legacy to be a good father and husband that was home every day for them, not a guy that worked non stop and left them a pile of cash Sent from my iPhone using Early Retirement Forum

So I retired a year ago at 45 and went back to work at a school part time. The job is easy just 4 hrs a day 730am to 1130am ... weekends, all holidays and summers off. The pay is only 20 dollars an hour. My problem is this. I was a cop for 25 years and never had a holiday, weekend or...

Thanks..... I couldn't stay at home. I took a security job at the local school. It doesn't pay much but it's only 4 hours a day 730am-1130am. Best part for me is weekends, holidays and Summer's off. I haven't been home for a holiday in 25 years. I'm looking forward to having my first...

My wife was totally supportive. I retired at 46 and she went back to work. She says I earned the right to retire so now I should enjoy it. I'm busy all day and house and lawn are spotless when she gets home. I know she's happy because I'm getting more action in the bedroom than ever. 👍 Sent...

I was also paying 1000 a month into medical. Our lovely governor passed a bill that made everyone pay into medical. But those people who had at least 20 years on got free medical if they retired. Sent from my iPhone using Early Retirement Forum

Our system is at 80 Percent and its funded by us the police and fire. I understand what's happening in other cities but that's because they don't fund their pensions like we do. Our public workers system which includes teachers is about to bust. But again they didn't find it properly...

Thanks. I really appreciate the positive response from everyone in this board. My experience with friends and neighbors has been nothing but negative so far. They are all extremely jealous had cant hold back their negative comments. Anyone else experience this with early retirement ...

Yes that's my retirement. Even with those numbers I'm one of the few that just picked up and left. Most cops fear leaving because they are so power hungry and the stay until their late 50s or 60s. I understood at a young age that at 25 years I could walk out the door like a lottery...

Hello, I retired this year at 46. The raises at my job were minimal and if I kept working I was going to be trapped paying into medical insurance. I chose to secure what I had and retired with a pension of 8k a month and free top of the line medical insurance for life. Sure I'm young and...
