I'm already busier and more active now, and feel a whole lot healthier and happier. You'd be surprised. As soon as it became public I was retiring, I was approached by several people wanting me to come and do some things with them-

I already have a volunteer gig with the VA and DAV driving disabled vets to the VA for their appointments. That's typically one full day a week.

Yeah. So my work is seasonal. I will do almost nothing until January and then work from Jan-July. My well being is completely different for the last part of the year.

I retired this past February at 58. 38+years with the same company. I’ve also had a side gig for 20 plus years. The company I worked for had become such a pain in the azz to work for I’d had enough. I use to enjoy it but got to hating it every morning , knew it was time. Luckily with a few pensions and some sound financial investments I could 


Playing golf almost every day now and my side business is doing well.

I highly recommend it to everyone. Like a wise old man told me once you can’t buy time. Enjoy your life while u can

Congrats.

I'll never "retire", will likely always either build a home here and there, remodel, or buy crappy fix them up, and do long term rentals.

Can't really imagine a world where I won't do that, but who knows.

Thank you for your service.

Thanks. Yeah, it's not like I'm sitting around trying to think of things to keep me busy. I feel like I have more going on right now than when I was working full time.

Maybe instead of labeling myself as retired, I should call it, "my terms- my time."

That's closer to how I see myself doing it.

Would probably like to "tinker" on construction or renovations for 4-5 hours per day of my choosing.  Want to work a couple hours one night, great, Sunday mid day...also good.

I could probably make that move now, but would take a big pay cut and don't want to adjust my lifestyle that much....yet.  The current job just hasn't pissed me off enough....but I'm sure it's trying to.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with.

      FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.

      Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
