Soooo.... a question for all those in retirement! I cannnot believe that I can retire now after working so many years for my city ... I am so old! But, not really... lol... birthday next week. I started very young, young  20s.... and cannot believe I am at the point where I can retire at my highest pay. Is retirement the best? I can stay, I can leave ...  my plan is to leave. What is your retirement story? 🤗

You can retire at full pay which means no working but full pay & benefits?

Sounds great!

[JFD12]

@rockygems123 Yes! I started working for my city at a young age and I can now retire at my full pension. I really cannot believe I have reached this point.

My co-workers on the previous shift were always playing practical jokes on me.    Sooooooo, one "last time", they packed up all my personal items in boxes and left them outside the office door.    

I called maintenance, and had them take my property out to my car and LEFT THE PROPERTY.

The general manager of the company called me for WEEKS, and I never answered the phone.    Amen and Hallelujah!

(I was already retirement age...and didn't NEED the job anyway.)

@JFD12  I retired from the Federal Government at 50 w/full benefits & never looked back.  

Me >>>>as I walked out the door & NEVER looked back.

@Mz iMac @Wow.... excellent! Cheers to you! ❤️

i retired from the county at 58 years old with full retirement benefits. I have never looked back. 

Retirement is the best ever. You can go to bed when you please, get up when you please. Be your own person. 

Congratulations @JFD12 . Enjoy.

@skatting44  Thank you so much! I honestly cannot believe that I have reached this point in my life. I have never not worked... even when I had my children.
