Happy for you.

That final, long walk out to the parking lot was a surrealistic experience for me.

Enjoy the rest of your FIRE'd life!

Not that it matters or feels different in any way at all, but today is actually my retirement day. As of 5pm I will be officially retired. My work family is having my retirement party tomorrow evening so that should be fun. Hopefully they spend a lot of time telling my wife how wonderful I am.

Brilliant. Congratulations Steve. You worked in an area in which you helped a great deal of people in very real and tangible ways. A nice, long break is richly deserved!

Incidentally, you are required to show up for forum duty at 9am sharp tomorrow

Oops, I first read jury duty.
Probably because I got that notice the other day.

I worked my final shift today, 9am-1pm. My last day officially is June 8 but I have no more shifts scheduled and don't plan to pick up any so I am done. I'm retired. I made it! It was a bit emotional walking out the door knowing I won't ever be there again as a doctor at least. I may stop in and visit but that's it. On to the next phase of life.

I felt that when I finished High School, but had to get a job.
Felt that way again when I finished my Army gig, but had to get a job.
Then again when I finished college, but had to get a job.
When I retired from my job I felt blessed.
So if you’ve made this far… you are blessed.
Enjoy and congrats

[Happily Retired 2019]

It's a whole new world!!! Good luck!!

It is a very odd feeling when you walk out the door. I did after 25 years. Only two other people knew that it was my last day and I had sworn them to secrecy. Plus a few colleagues in other cities.

I just wanted to leave quietly with no fanfare. I do not regret doing it this way.

Congrats! This is a good day, one of the seminal moments of your life. Make the best of it

 

[Yoheadden]

Congrats, time to start the next chapter.

Congratulations! Now a strange new horizon presents itself - yet there are familiar challenges and routines. Finding and nurturing the community one needs to keep us engaged and active in is the first challenge.
