Congratulations and a wonderful time ahead! Time to do something good for yourself for a while. You've been doing that for others for years. You won't stop doing that, but you'll be living a different life now. It's almost 17 years for me ---and it's still an adventure!

Congrats!! I do say to myself numerouse times now, I love my life. It took retirement to really appreciate it. It's nice to not have to be on the run all the time.

Congrats!! I'm wishing you all the best and happy years ahead. I am struggling now with retiring. My husband and I both had the day off on Friday and we went in and paid off our mortgage on our house. I am 62 so eligible for retirement and I've been at the same job for 37 years and needless to say burned out. After reading all the other responses of those who have already retired they are pushing me to just jump in and do it...I agree with the person who said they have enjoyed being a slug ever since! LOL Enjoy your new life..

@Goodie2shoes- Congratulations!! Enjoy your retirement.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

How wonderful! It must feel so good! I am very happy for you. I hope your retirement is everything you want it to be --- and more!

I am very envious --- not jealous -- but envious!!! I hope some day that I will be able to do the same!!!

Best wishes for a long and happy retirement!!!

I was fortunate to have retired at a very early age, and I love the freedom. I left a job where many older than me said they would probably never be able to retire. Don't understand those who don't plan ahead for their future. It's not rocket science. Can't say I have ever been one to sit around, but it's fun to have choices instead of being pinned down with a regular job.
