Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I just dawned on me that I reached 15 years retired when the ball dropped on New Year's Eve. The water is fine. It took me about 15 minutes to adjust.

I'm going thru the terrible twos, 2.5 yrs, but as they say, never been so bored that I wanted to go back to work.

Congratulations! Glad to hear some folks still going strong after that long.
I'm into my fourth year, myself. The adjustment was almost immediate the day I walked out of the office for the last time, around 1 PM. I stopped at Home Depot on the way home, and immediately noticed a different clientele than I'd usually encounter. It was a bunch of retired old guys, and a few w*rking contractors. At that point I realized I was now one of the former. I'd joined a new club.
By my first official day of retirement, a few days later, I was already underway on a 3-month cruise. The adjustment back to dry land was the hard part. We actually steamed on past our home marina and kept going to a nearby anchorage, just to extend the trip a couple of days.
Now we're working on selling the house to become "homeless trawler trash" while we look for our next home base, hopefully somewhere with a longer boating season.
Being up at 5am on my not so smart phone reading and typing away with my thumbs instead of sleeping because I can.What are the retirement terrible twos?
29 months for me and have never felt more free and relaxed.
