Retired People: What Surprised You?

[Green light]

It will take a couple of weeks to get used to it. Then you will fall into your groove. It’s good.

Congratulations, Harvey!

As someone looking to start a phased retirement in about 3 years, this thread has been a super good read. Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far!

Harvey, now that it's official I hope you will share your own thoughts on what you find most surprising over the next few months and beyond.

I hung up my knives and ladle last week...I think i might be a bit bored.. Dark and dreary out, skiing is meh...but it's better then slinging hash

Convo with my mom last week:

Mom: "So after next week you're free as a bird right?"

Harv: "Well er um..."

Mom: "It's a yes or no question!"



In other news, somehow my company got their hands on this Plattekill shot.

I can see it now, right shoulder Mom?, left shoulder SKI DAY!

Good luck Harvey......and always listen to Mom,

She needs a few more stories in the rotation.

True fun fact counterpoint tho: If I make it to 90 and I'm still 'there', like she is... I will be worse!

Thought I'd be gone by now!

Staff is all gone, we let them go early for NY Eve.

Just us chickens, trying to cancel my corporate Amex card.

I am ready!

I still think this forum is full of old guys complaining about 1st world problems & reminiscing about boring classic rock and “the good old days” (and this thread fully confirms that), but one supreme advantage of reaching the later years is being retired.

Congratulations, Harv.
