to retirement, and Congratulations! Do what you enjoy, but be sure to keep active!

I retired July 3rd of this year. It's great. I'm working my *** off and making zero money, but I have no stress like I did with my job and I'm doing stuff I enjoy as well as helping my family.

Hmmm, waking up at Dawn's crack? You must be Tony Orlando!

Congrats. Closing in on six years retired. If I'm up at 0430 it's just to drain the rest of the last night's tea and then back to bed.

I worked very long hours all my life and many, many 7, 12's months on end. When I retired I went from wide open to stop, very hard to get use too. Congrats, live long and enjoy!!!

Congrats and enjoy it. Retired May 1st of this yr. Yeah that 420a think ain't happening. I'm lucky to be up by 930a.
Finally have time to do projects I had no time to do, new deck, finish 3rd bathroom, new patio with pavers, finish the remodel on our winter home. Hmm maybe I should have just stayed working. Lol
