I did it! And it feels so good!

[Lurchins]

I retired at the end of September. I'm 62, so not all that early. It's wonderful to wake up in the morning and not wonder what sort of sh!t show might await me when I check my emails.



I did make $65 playing my monthly gig with my Bluegrass band, but I would do that if it didn't pay a penny.


Time for a nap.


Cheers!
Lurchins

(Wish I could hear that Bluegrass band.)

Me too, and it sounds as if you'll have things to do in retirement (very important, so you don't sit around and start thinking, "Oh, how I miss those emails!" )

No boss! No employees! No expectations! It’s blissful!

Look forward to hearing more from you.

Congrats ! Enjoy the retirement. 62 is fine. Are you getting your SS income.

 

[Alex The Great]

This is great! I absolutely agree about corporate email: this is an evil I will never miss

Congratulations. My DH and I love it.

We also like bluegrass music.

Congratulations Lurchins. I was 63 when I finally pulled the trigger. Wish I had done it sooner but then I'd have missed a buyout offer.

Enjoy your naps and your bluegrass gigs and whatever else retirement brings you!
