GREAT! I have been retired for 20 years this year, and once I figured out we would not starve, enjoyed every day!! Don't forget, the first dollar earned above your retirement income is already in a high tax bracket!! I got a call not long after I retired, to work on a cntract doing the same thing I did at work, BIG MONEY, I told them they couldn't afford me, and havn't been a contacted since, and havn't regreated it yet!Today is my first day of retirement.
Now I just need a little side gig to have some gun money.
Congratulations!! Make the most of your free time, or chill, whenever you want. I'm going to leave the rat-race in a few years and spend more of my time fighting hogs and black locust in OK between deer seasons :-)
Tried to get a job at the local liquor store after I retired as a taste tester, but they weren’t hiring at the time.
Congratulations on retirement. I did mine 13 years ago (doesn’t seem like that long ago) but it has been great. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Enjoy whatever you have planned or unplanned for the future, just live it as you wish.
Glad u made it man- I find retirement to be more enjoyable than work- I have been in sales for about 45 years and still work, kinda, as a Realtor. I do get a listing here and there and sale one now and then, but I mostly do drive by BPO's which is a mini appraisal for homes in distress or maybe someone wants to get their PMI removed, or occasionally it is for a home equity loan or something along that line. Usually, they give you 2-4 days to get it in and you choose rather you want to do it or not. I also manage a rental home for one of my older customers with helps with a little gun money. once in a while I do a deed for someone wanting to change the ownership on a home. Little here- little there. I did get more into the Masons and charity work, which all together is some to do, but only if I want to. I often think if I had worked this hard on the job, I might have a little more, but what the heck- I need to quit looking up a horse's butt to see what killed it.
Same here. Retired 16 years ago when I reached the age of 57. Most of the time now I don't even know what day of the week it is
and though the initial adjustment from a working-life routine was a bit difficult with a new job of trying to keep busy, I did eventually adjust well enough to never want to go back to [four-letter cuss word] actual work.
Everyday is a Saturday, but Sunday. My thoughts!
I pulled the pin 9 years ago. Best thing I ever did. Congratulations and enjoy!
