Well, I made the move to Orcas Island! However, we over spent and the company gave permission to telecommute "part time" (32 hours a week). I kind of need the money, so we're pushed off back into the class of 2017.

Admittedly not the earliest of retirees here (64), but the last few years of semi-ER have been pretty easy going so there's that. Now its time to tie a ribbon on a long and interesting career and try on some real freedom. And tomorrow sounds like as good a day as any!!

Well, I made the move to Orcas Island! However, we over spent and the company gave permission to telecommute "part time" (32 hours a week). I kind of need the money, so we're pushed off back into the class of 2017.

Pushed back into class of 2017. You can remove my name from the 2016 list. But I can tell you I'm very much enjoying life in the pnw.

Hey others that have retired in 2016, how's it going?
I've been out of the rat race for over 5 months. I'm loving it. I don't know how I had time to work.
I've been out of the rat race for over 5 months. I'm loving it. I don't know how I had time to work.
I retired in June, wanting to move back from overseas and enjoy the 2016 summer in the northern hemisphere. Well, that was a bit of a miscalculation. While we have enjoyed a number of short trips, we have spent most of the summer completing repairs on our house and then receiving and deciding what to do with the 565 boxes and crates of stuff that we had in storage and overseas. So while I've enjoyed parts of retirement so far, there has been a lot of work and a lot of stress trying to get our lives and home back up and running in the US. I should have retired in February if I wanted to enjoy a free summer in the US!InTheSticks said:
I'm starting week 7 of my new life and so far it's been great. The old place hardly ever enters my mind. I have to agree with you. I've not had a bored moment yet and don't know where I found the time to ever do that other thing.

Hi, just joined 2016 Class today (downsized from Megacorp)... mixed feelings because it was really abrupt but overall a positive because DW and I have been oreparing to FIRE for years. Love this site, admit to living vicariously through the various posts for several years. Hope to keep learning from all of you!

Sorry about the surprise, but welcome.
Retired as of yesterday, a month later than the 8/31 I'd stated earlier. This time it's for real. Should probably revise my list entry but, then again, it's only a number and what's a month after four decades and then some.
I am moving to the class of 2017 - January for now

Pretty quiet around here. I hope everyone is busy enjoying their retirements.
I just saw some pictures from a work get together on Facebook. I miss the people but the job. Plus, a lot of new faces.
I just saw some pictures from a work get together on Facebook. I miss the people but the job. Plus, a lot of new faces.
Every so often I wonder if I made the right decision leaving work in April at 50. The thought doesn't occupy me long, though. Having the full week to deal with my own stuff every week makes it so much easier and less stressful. After I stopped working, I had two months of being able to see my mother in hospital every day before she died. It was a crappy time of life, but work would not have made it better - not working gave me the time to focus on her. Then I had two months to organize the funeral, spend time with family, and plan a trip. Then I had two amazing months of travelling in Europe. Now I have three months to focus on getting my broken ankle to heel (thank goodness for travel medical insurance - I'm submitting a claim for US$16,000 for treatment and repatriation) without worrying about how to manage my work and how soon I can get back. And when it comes time for my parents-in-law to move, we'll be able to fly out to the west coast and spend time helping them pack and settle into a new place. So now it's all about me, my husband and our families. It's really good. I hope others are enjoying their retirements.
Some observations three months in to retirement:
. spend very little time at this forum, and used to live at this site.
. Honey do list may take a year or so to complete, but that's OK.
. anticipated travel being so awesome, but it can be tiring.
. decompression may take longer than I imagined, but that's OK.
. making friends in a retirement community is easier than I thought.
. life is good, enjoying each moment.
. health is one thing I can still control, cycling a bunch and loving it.

I have been looking around and reading post for about 4 years. I made an account the day I decided FI and ER would be my singular focus. 03/25/2014. I remember the moment so clearly. I'm a very luck boy.

Thanks, it's an odd feeling I haven't fully processed yet. I catch myself thinking about what I'm going next and how much money I can make doing it, and then I tell myself it doesn't matter...
