Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Yesterday I made my retirement date official at my company that I've worked at for almost 34 years. After speaking with my boss, Human Resources and other involved parties over the past two weeks, I made July 20th my retirement date.
It was a strange, almost surreal feeling to hit "send" on the email to start the process. What do I do next? Which colleagues do I start telling? I actually had to rush off to a meeting immediately afterwards.
I feel I'm well prepared for retirement at 65 (not too early I realize) and am doing so on my terms and at the timing I had planned. The relief of giving up what has become a hellish commute driving into New York City, provided an immediate benefit to my decision!
I am glad to finally join "the retired club" and am looking forward to this next chapter in my life and will continue to visit and participate here for great advice, ideas and encouragement.
Thanks all!
