3 more get ups until retirement. 

Why did I do it? Well... because I can (barely). I've seen far too many friends pass away before they could, or shortly there after. I don't want to be on that list.

Do you have the pants that go to your chest and will you start having dinner at 4:45?

Congratulations Bobitis!!

I finally pulled the plug at 66 to help my wife with a full time (family) caregiving project. At 69, I was able to go back to work (part time) and continue to do so. I'm thinking about pulling the plug again in a year and a half when I reach 75.

The key is staying busy and I'm sure you have a lot of projects in mind to keep you active.

I did however since I retired I have found they only now go half way up my stomach.  I guess it was caused by to much of my good cooking.

My father retires this Friday 4/26 at the age of 69 and one day.  He rarely even took vacations over a 50 plus year career.   I on the other hand am planning to call it quits in 10 to 13 years.  Of course life happens, but a little advanced planning and I should get my early retirement.

Bobitis, kudos man, I'm VERY jealous.

Congratulations!  I would retire right now if I could, but at 45 with kids still in the house, it is only a dream.  59.5 is my cutoff though, unless something goes horribly wrong.  If it goes really well, maybe 55.  I take pride in providing for my family, but I will quit the second I can.  Work provides no sense of well being for me, only stress.  I will look back on it with gratitude, but will not miss it.

I'm happy for you, Bob.  I retired at 54, almost 24 years ago.  I'm so busy that I can't seem to complete  everything that I want to accomplish.  I can tell that you'll also be busy.

Marcia and I are rattling around in a four-bedroom house and we sometimes discuss downsizing to a villa or such, but we are resisting.

Paul, You've got me beat, I retired 5/1/95 at 58 years old.
