Congratulations, 911Boss. Here's to many years of a healthy and stress free retirement.

I’m gone come February. I’m so ready.

Awesome! I just hit 65, but need an income to complete a few house projects to sell. I'm envious

Enjoy your new life of doing your own thing on your own time. You have earned it so make the most out of it even if its just doing nothing.

A suggestion:

Don't retire FROM something.

Instead, retire TO something.

There is a BIG difference. They are NOT the same.

That will enhance your life. Have a plan. Retire TO something, which is how you live and conduct the rest of your life.

Best wishes to you.

Welcome to the Early Retirement Club! I retired at 59 years 2 months, and so far, it's been blissful.

Congrats!!!!! I really want to join you. I was supposed to retire last year, but I will probably retire in 2031 when I have to leave or lose my money. My kids are 32, 21, 17 and 3 weeks. lol

I retired last June at 62. Best decision I ever made. Congratulations.

Welcome to the finish line! Hopefully, it will also be the starts line for WAY more!

Congrats 911Boss……you’ll love it! I retired at age 57 after 29 years fire service, now they pay me monthly NOT to show up….its awesome!

I suffered an unexpected early retirement at 53. Thankfully I’m still here and able to still enjoy some activities.

Congratulations, it's a great feeling. I bailed a year and a half ago at 63. I was going to work another couple years but I just couldn't deal with the Oregon politics and the woke/DEI bullshit at the office anymore. Best decision I ever made, I'm much more relaxed and happier, even my BP is down.

Time to change your Cut.

Welcome to "Hyper-Time". We've been retired just over 9 years. Time really flies when you leave the job. Best wishes.

Yesterday I had to ask my wife what day it was . She kind of snickered at that. I said " Oh hell , they're all the same " .

enjoy your retirement

EVERY day is a Saturday!!

I walked out the door at 55 plus 1 day - my birthday was on a Sunday and I didn't want HR to muck it up. That was 20 years ago.

Some free advice: 1: you didn't plan your career the first day on the job. Don't try to plan your retirement the first day you're done. Things change, don't sweat it. 2: Think about the things that you wanted to do but couldn't afford the cut in pay. Now you can volunteer to do what you enjoy. 3: Like others have said, look forward to the day when you wake up and don't know what day it is. 4: weekends are for people who work. I can fish, go to the range or take long bike rides during the week. It's far less people-y. And 5: work screws up all your free time.

Congrats!

I will have been retired for 20 years in about two months. I like it!

Edit spelling.
