Yesterday was my one year retirement anniversary. Simply put, this has been the best year of my life!! No regrets at all. Never been bored. I sleep better, eat better, and exercise daily. Because the work stress is gone, I enjoy things more. I can go to a movie or concert or have coffee with a friend and not be constantly checking emails or worrying about work issues. I never realized how much "space" work took up in my mind! So for those on the fence about FIRE...don't be...its wonderful!
