Did it today. Submitted my resignation about 30 days ago and today is my last day. It is a lot like any other major event in your life - graduation, wedding day, 1st child, etc. in that there are a lot of unknowns no matter how much you plan, but there is excitement for the future. Even if...

Just subscribed. 51 now working as a computer programmer and am hoping to do an early retirement at 60. I had a heart attack at age 41 and want to make sure I have some time to relax and work on the things that I want to work on. I will probably have to do some part time work initially. But...
