Hi, Class of 2010 retirees

I made my first post on the Life after fire board for the class of 2010 and thought I should introduce myself here. I have been lurking for a couple of years and have learned a lot from this site.

Welcome, and I'm sure you are going to enjoy your retirement. You sound as if you have everything lined out financially. I had a few years with my DW ESR'ed and it made a huge difference to me in that she was always home before me and had time to start exploring life after work for both of us.

I am looking forward to hitting the gym everyday and getting back in shape. No more excuses.

That is exactly what DW did, and once I RE'd she had already sussed out the best gym and tried out lots of the classes.
