I just turned 55 and let my company know I would be retiring in Dec! I gave a long notice because I will be getting a knee replacement at end of August. My husband and I always had a goal to retire at 55, he was supposed to have retirement medical but that got phased out.
Hubby is 57 and still likes working however that is changing so he may try to reduce his hours (at 30 he will still get medical). Fully prepared if he wants to totally retire.
My plan is to travel (hopefully things will be better by Jan) with my daughter who is a YouTuber (and is able to make a salary), volunteer, spend time with my parents. I will be getting a kayak and hybrid type bike (I have asthma and can't do hills!)
We live in the Northeast and plan on being snowbirds, we will rent a various places and see what we like.
My husband does not like to travel (he has had 2 failed back surgeries) but we will do some smaller trips. I will do bigger trips with kids and friends.
I have been lurking around this board for the last year. Looks like a lot of great people and great information!
