We just came back from the financial advisor's and got a lot discussed and papers signed.
This feels like a huge milestone in our 35 plus years together....much bigger deal than turning 50 or 60. Right up their with how I felt on my Wedding Day and the day we bought our first home. A milestone
All the hard work and years of investing and building our nest egg now comes to fruition. Huge weight off my shoulders worrying about this and that and knowing we are OK...on track and doing the right steps to enjoy the rest of our lives.

Congratulations to Mr. SeaMaiden and you, too, of course.
It is a very big transition. I hope you and your family enjoy it to the utmost. You're fortunate to have that nest egg.

Congratulations @SeaMaiden and hubby! So nice to see you are so excited about his retirement. I know many women who don't want their husbands to retire. Cute that you said it is right up there with how you felt on your wedding day! He must really appreciate your excitement! Enjoy a long and healthy life together.

A milestone is right..I was so worried when we made the decision to retire..now, 6 years later, it was the best decision..a big adjustment for sure, after working & saving for 45 years..
enjoy your well-deserved retirement!

@tansy No plans to move in the next 5 years..... kind of see how things go here....get comfortable with the new situation...lots to consider. If we do move, it would be in the area, but a ranch style home, smaller yard....a 55 and older community most likely.

DH retired Jan 1st this year. He is more relaxed and been busy moving my DD into a townhouse & doing little things that need repair while she is at work. Love to go to grocery or any stores mid week not crowded. We take each day as we want, sometimes do things around house or errands. Sometimes we eat a late lunch and just have a snack for dinner or other days I cook dinner. Just do what you want because you earned it.
