Hello,my name is Bill and I just retired!Actually I gave notice a couple weeks ago and my actual retirement is Jan 1.I’m 63 and have been waffling on retiring since I turned 62.I worked for the same company in the logging industry for 35 yrs.I was thinking April so Cobra would last till Medicare but physically and mentally I just hit the wall so I give the minimum notice basically. So now I’m three months out for receiving benefits(SS,pensions,annuity) which is no big deal.So my only regret is that I didn’t get the ball rolling sooner on those.My post retirement income will be roughly 50k a year.My working income was aroung 85k.No debt except a $350 mortgage(i refinanced to thirty years last year).Utilities are kinda high in our small Alaskan town.I have no plans to move.My sweetheart of twenty years has been on SS disability for fifteen yrs for MS.We’re not married.A life well lived and a couple failed marriages,late to the 401k game etc didn’t do much for my portfolio.But i’m confident I’ll be just fine.I have more stuff than I need and will curb impulsive spending.It’s all just starting.A new chapter in our lives.I hope I can gleen some wisdom from the group.And I should add I’m ignorant about financial management,seriously,I’m an idiot.
