What do you mean Dom?

Sorry for the typos it has been a long work weekend.

I mean that when transitioning from full time work to retirement, I see a lot of web and other info about transitioning TO something.

I personally feel you have that covered thought I don’t think we ve met because you have pursuits - this blog, your family, skiing, biking and ‘Dacks are more than enough to keep you happily occupied.

You have a mix of mental, physical and social stimulus.

That seems good to me. Yeah there is change in moving anywhere but I can tell you have some local relationships like w at cork, etc.

So weather this was a long term plan or not, from all non financial aspects your in a good place.

And from your boglehead posting is looks like good financial place (but that last part is not what you are asking about).

I think the same sense is coming out from posts here like Warp Jason Peter and all others.

Best D.

The younger folks had to make a decision.
Mine was to ask if I could get out 3 months earlier than scheduled.
They said Yup then asked me later on if I changed my mind and wanted to go.
Twas a no brainer.
Severance was 56 weeks pay with benefits, then I turned 65.
Sometimes ya just get lucky.

First one, since the new legislation was signed, is Saturday Feb 10th. Nobody goes to skool on a Saturday.

Until 2 years ago I was hellbent on retiring at 62. I'm 57, love what I do, and quite frankly feel as though I'm currently semiretired. I now have no retirement date planned.

I understand.

I work 7-3, Mon - Thurs, 7-1 on Friday. It's the first time in my adult life that I'm not working weekends. It's so awesome!

I took a major cut in pay, but at this point in my life, time to myself and my girl, are #1.
