Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
One of my senior employees, now 61, has talked about retiring for at least 4 years. He has talked himself out of it due to not reaching his "number," two mortgages, health care issues, market crash worries, varying (small) pension calculations, no Soc Sec or Medicare eligibility yet and any number of reasons. Then somewhat out of the blue this week, even though he is no closer to having any of the issues that have held him back cleared up, he announces "it's just time, my last day will be on or before 12/31/09." He has a rough $ plan, but nothing cast in stone. He will do fine in retirement, and he experienced a sense of relief almost immediately.
Just interesting to me that after years of agonizing over $, in the end he made his decision regardless of the $ or any milestone whatsoever - he just did it...
