Thread: First week...........

Congrats! I've got a year and a half before I join you!

Its not to bad if I get bored I take a nap and it goes away. Its nice to hook on to the boat and go fishing when you want !!

Rebound warning. I work with cients insurance needs post retirement, most that don't have a schedule of something to do, an agenda if you will, end up back at it within a year. On his second attempt at retirement one fella said he was going to give himself a job of retiring, over the course of the year he slowly broke from his "retirement schedule" and it was a more secure feeling and he said he didn't have any anxiety or angst about not having something to do. It is a shock to a working person's mental state to not have something demanding on your time. Have fun.

Retired the first of the year and haven't regretted one single minute of it. Nice to fish during the week or whenever the weather is nice . I just wish some of my fishing buddies were retired so that I would have someone to tag along.

I worked for a great company and boss and was allowed to wind down a day at a time over 8 months. At first I did not like being home and neither did the wife. By the time I got down to two days a week I was ready to not work at all. I think that really helped. I am getting use to it so far and the agenda is fully planned by the wife. Can't use the excuse that I have to work anymore.

Congrats! Enjoy your retirement and get a fishing pole in your hand as often as possible.

Worse thing I found out about retiring is I don't get anymore vacation days or paid holidays off............

Looking forward to it myself one day, congrats and enjoy.
