I just got thinking about it that I have been ER eight years as of May 1st. Man, just unbelievable how fast that time has gone. Wow! I worked in a career I wanted to do since grade school, so had a job I loved till the last day. I haven't looked back but kept my eyes looking forward and focus on just living life today, as I know there isn't no guarantee of a tomorrow.
Health has been good and so has it been for my lovely wife. So, many things have happened in these past eight years and I'm so glad I was ER to take full advantage and had time for all that has taken place.
My son got married to a local rancher's daughter and they are very well financially set in life with great professional careers. I also got my first blood granddaughter and got a step GD to boot that we just love as our own.
I enjoy each day in the outdoors fishing, hunting, hiking and working on the ranch. I had more time for wood projects and have taken on many new challenges of things I would never would have had time for.
I learned in ER that I don't have to get in a hurry, so whatever I do now, I stop to look around and to smell the roses. I have been blessed so much and more then I have deserved.
Financially has been the easiest part with > 2.5M in portfolio more than from the day I ER eight years ago in May. We have spent a lot of money buying land, two new vehicles, charity/donating/giving away money and still have enough.
I hear it often here that people are glad they ER when they did, and some wish they would have done it sooner. For me I went out at 58 and was about right for me but so glad I did then and not later.
I Thank God each day for all the blessing I have been given. Wow, has the time flew by fast.
