I don't mean to second guess you and my math skills have never been red hot, but could you mean that 11,421 days represents the 31 years you were IN the army.

No that represents the 31 years in days I've been retired from the army. Just like what the OP was asking.

Enlisted in the Army on 22 Nov 72 and retired from same on 5 Jan 95. So from army retirement date to posting date is 11,421 days give or take a few hours.

to save me I can"t replicate how I FUBARed that up. Apologies, man

I like metrics; Days in Retirement is one of several dates I keep track of.

As of Today's Date, April 14, 2026, I have 5,377 Days to Live; that's 14 years, 8 months, and 19 days or a total of 768 weeks.

I've been retired for 2,203 days or 6 years, 0 months, and 12 days or 315 weeks. Or counting from the last day I got a paycheck from a company. I really did retire in Feb 2017 but someone called me and asked I work for them. I did for about a year as it took 3 years for my house to sell.

One milestone I'm tracking is when my Days in Retirement is equal to the remaining Days I have left to live. That will happen in June 24, 2030 or 1,532 days from today or 4 years, 2 months, and 10 days, or 219 weeks total.

Needless to say, my days left to live is based on probabilities reflected in actuarial tables. My target day of dying changes as I age and is not tied to a static end date.

7,705 days and bored

1274 days to age 67

As a self-employed IT consultant, it is not so easy to determine when my retirement actually began. Counting from when I last received a client payment, it is 1914 days. Yes, I was surprised at that number. The work that was billed for was performed a month or so earlier, so add 30 days if your opinion varies.

Since Mrs. A. still has at least five more years of working (and is unlikely to quit even then), I don't think I will experience the fabled retirement lifestyle (wine, women, and travel) for a while yet.

And, in truth, should one or more of my (former) clients request assistance, I would be delighted to negotiate some hours.

-365 days until I retire.

Will be 57 with 33 years federal service of which four are active duty Navy.

May 29th is when I can start counting!
71 and done!!!!
Unless they offer me an opportunity to stay until the end of the year.

241

1359, or so says my counter !
We’re away for the weekend in the motorhome.
My wife still has 3 years to go.

224....still an FNG. No Ragrets thus far

Rey HRH - Tracking remaining days to live...I'm sorry bro, but I think that's a little strange.

I was retired for two days. It was a weekend. Does that count?

Insurance companies do it for business profit.

I actually learned the principle from a story I heard a long time ago about a man who kept a jar of marbles in a jar in his garage and every year he would take one out.

And, actually, now that you've made me think about it some more, people playing in sports games do it all the time so how is that strange?

As with most life lessons that are learned only in the latter part of life, I have now realized the meaning of phrases such as "redeem the time!" or "Seize the day!"

I've learned that time is like grocery coupons. You go to the grocery with them in your pocket. But if you never use the coupons, they're worthless. You have to intentionally get the product that corresponds to the coupon and redeem the coupon and unlock the value of the coupon. You have to know what coupon you have, intend to use it, act on your intent, in order to redeem the value.

It's the same thing with time. And when you're in the last two minutes of the game and you find yourself behind, most people panic, give up, or become desperate and become reckless. Or, you can be like cool Joe Montana who was great in redeeming the last two minutes of any game.

Now, that I have only 5,374 days left to live instead of the 20,600 days I had when I was twenty years old, I'm making sure I'm getting the full value out of each day as I can with no regrets.

I made it 120ish days. Wasn’t for me. Now I’m semi retired. I’m okay with that.

520 glorious days have passed since I quit working for the public school system.

It's a little over 1600 days for me and I can't believe it, looking at it that way. Time really does fly if we don't make time stamps.

Are you single? Is it a money thing? Motivation? Health? Curious for those of us fairly new at this.
