Hi...I'm new to this forum. I'm a single, 51 years old, experiencing major job burnout after 27 years in the same profession (computer programmer here). Anyway, I have enough savings and investments to retire on as well as having my house paid off and have no major debts. I'm just curious if many of you in this forum just one day got fed up with the whole work life thing (feeling like you're on an endless treadmill...as once said on the Jetson's TV show..."Jane, get me off this crazy thing!") and just quit working. Have most of you planned your early retirement out or have many just one day said "Enough, I'm done"? Don't get me wrong, I've been planning for early retirement for a long time but sometimes its tough to officially say "I'm done". I've had extended periods of time off in the past (up to 16 months of unemployment after 9/11) and survived those and actually enjoyed them, so I think I'm good "retirement material". Anyway, please let me know what your thoughts are.
Thanks.
Thanks.
