Retired April 2020 at age 56.
My first pension check hit my bank account on Friday. No turning back now.
It’s getting late on Sunday afternoon and since retirement is so new I still have that dreaded feeling of a work week ahead. Might take a while to adjust my mind to the new retiree lifestyle.

Me 64, her 21 years ago she took on stay at home Mom job. My view on retiring early has changed. I retired from a job I loved. Paid well, allowed me to be creative, worked from home anytime I wanted. As much as I loved the job I lost a colleague at work who told me, before she passed “retire Ray” she was right it was time.

Good luck with your new lifestyle! It’s been 20 years retirement for me at 34 and still feel like I’m getting away with something everyday.

Planned to go by 55 and punched out early at 54.5. Feel so lucky and blessed to be enjoying RE the last 1.5 years. Cannot even imagine going to w*rk again for a paycheck with all the BS that comes with being employed by a mega Corp.
