First of all, congrats to you all! I'm very jealous with many more years of corporate malaise in front of me!
I suppose it depends on whether your hesitation is the "do we have enough?" or the "am I ready to retire?" variety. I had a coworker who claimed he just wasn't ready to be done working (stated several times over the last few years). He was at normal retirement age. He had extended time off with hip surgery, which forced him to be away from the office. He discovered he really liked it and retired a few months later. If it's for financial reasons, I expect that's a tough call. You could always stay longer and have that much bigger of a nest egg, but you're also missing out on that free time. From what you said, it sounds like you're set, though. Give yourself time, take a trial vacation and see how you like it.
Has anyone had this same head trip? I know that I could comfortably economically walk away from the job -- DH is retired, has a good pension, we have savings, IRAs, deferred comp, Roths, stocks up the kazoo, house paid for, covered health insurance but I just can't bring myself to give it up. It this a long process to go through until you feel confident enough to throw in the towel?
