Well, I did it. I signed my retirement papers and mailed them to our pension company, and notified my manager at megacorp on Friday! I will retire effective July 1st and vacation out on June 15th. I have nearly retired several times in the past, but delayed due to the economic downturn. I have worked at my present job for 34 years and am 60 years old. What put me over the edge, was reading the obituary's of several former retired work associates who just died this past week along with others that have developed cancer. I have good health now and I want to retire with good health. According to Firecalc, Fidelity's Income Planner, and my own spreadsheet forecasts, I have enough! One of our retirement counselor's has said "Once you have enough and you had enough, then RETIRE"!
I must admit, I was anxious when I dropped the retirement papers into the mailbox and also when I notified my management. 18 Days and counting down to freedom!
