Congrats to all! I left 1/1/19 and I'm lovin' every minute
I'm flip flopping between just giving megacorp the finger now versus waiting until my builder actually starts building the home on which we put down earnest money. My company is such an incredible cesspool that I feel like I need to take a shower when I get home from work, but they're still paying me. If I could just not care about the work and let my performance degrade to whatever level a carefree attitude would foster, sticking around to collect more paychecks would be a lot easier.anyone else flip flopping between being totally relieved then totally anxious?
Good thing I don't have to worry about that.... then they wonder about your sanity for leaving such a good position, etc.

I completely understand. I walked into our email not working today and the office all freaking out. And, after 8 hours it still isn't. Jumping on this board does help a lot.Ugly Monday at work today and am here to detox.
That sounds wonderful. Congratulations to you!Sure feels good to be done with work. Punched out for the last time on May 1 after 32 years working for the man.
This past weekend my youngest kid graduated from university and is heading to grad school to study nursing in Baltimore. Older brother (research physicist) and sister (mechanical engineer) were launched into the real world a few years ago.
Currently sitting on the deck of vacation home with a cup of coffee watching the fog clear over the lake and counting my blessings. Feels good and excited to be starting a new chapter with my lovely wife (of 32 years) by my side.
Cheers to my fellow early retirees.
Living the dream!
Congratulations! That sounds amazing. I am sitting at w**k under the fluorescent lights as panic is everywhere around me today because our email isn't working. I think I will find a picture of a foggy lake and make it my desktop picture today.Currently sitting on the deck of vacation home with a cup of coffee watching the fog clear over the lake and counting my blessings.
Why can't this happen to ME?Found out last week that my job at MegaSoftwareCorp has been eliminated. I have till Mid June to find another job, or take the package.
It will be scary next year too.Found out last week that my job at MegaSoftwareCorp has been eliminated. I have till Mid June to find another job, or take the package. SERIOUSLY thinking of joining the class of 2019! I'm almost 64 and have the FI portion down (I think...), it's the RE that's scaring me. DW is 62 and terrified -- of me being home all the time ;-). She may keep working...
Come in, the water is great!SERIOUSLY thinking of joining the class of 2019!
