Should I Retire?

[woodgeek]

My joint has an incentive in place for my retirement....on September 30th, 2037.

Just don't ever wish to be older just so you can be retired. Trust me on this.

Wish it away or not, I find it happens one day at a time. Even at that rate, I periodically find myself feeling surprised that I am where I am

You ain't gonna believe what happens next.

Wife says if I sober up, things won't be so surprising

Yours too huh?

Yes, life is to precious to be spending your days uninspired...time to turn the page...

Looks can be deceiving...

 

[PapaDave]

Congratulations to both of you.
I quit working.....away from home........at the end of '06.
Such a good feeling.
Too bad I couldn't do it when I was 25.

I just hope you don't ever have to say,
"Welcome to Walmart!"

I just hope you don't ever have to say,
"Welcome to Walmart!"

Or "do you want fries with that burger"

 

[woodgeek]

or, "I should have retired sooner!"

Congrats to you.

My eldest starts college next year, so... we have at least another decade of rock-and-roll around here.

My wife says that every day is Saturday after you retire.

Great news for you!

I'm totally ready to get off the merry-go-round. Stressed spelt backwards = Desserts!

Thanks for the good wishes everyone.

The question is..will BeGreen's post frequency go up or down after retirement?

It can't go up!
The guy is like Babe Ruth. No one is going to come close to the record unless they use performance enhancing drugs....and then the quality is likely to suffer...

I will be on sabbatical from time to time as I intend to do some traveling. Some of it will be stove related, so field reports are possible.

So in other words you will be reporting from the road via laptop and wi-fi from your motor home. Frequency may go up Have "mod" will travel
Please observe the no posting while driving restrictions.

I suspect that some travel will be abroad in areas where the internet and flush toilets are a luxury.

Enjoy! I have to laugh at this thread because my parents were up last week and my mom said that she's trying to get my dad to "retire." He retired from UPS five years ago after 25 years humping boxes and driving a truck, but after that he kicked his side business of repairing, buying, and selling OPE into high gear and now he's busier than when he was punching a clock five days a week The thing is he loves his "job" now so it doesn't really feel like work anymore.

Congratulations. I hear you man. I stepped off April 1. It will feel odd for awhile. Decades long habits are hard to break.

Congrats to you both! That sounds like a wonderful spot to be in.
