Hi,
I read on another site this is a great place to ask retirement questions. So, here I go. I saved most of my life and now I'm very financially secure. I could live with 1-1.25% withdrawal rates on my savings. Plus I have a pension of 26.5k/yr that begins at 65. I plan on deferring Social Security till 70 years old.
But I still work full time and really don't like my job. It has become progressively worse the last few years and now it's nearly intolerable. It's bizzare but for some reason I just can't quit and I can't put my finger on why. One thought I have is I might not be able to fill up all my free time in retirement which leads to boredom. Or I've thought that I make a very good salary so why give it up? Was hoping some of you here had similar thoughts about being hesitant in pulling the trigger on retirement and how you overcame them. Thanks!
Francis
