I turned in my notice at work Wednesday to leave/retire. Last day is Nov. 27. Retire sounds wrong as I am only 57. Decided to leave as the way the company pension works I stand to lose 31K in value next year and who knows the year after. So I am leaving with a lump sum payout. So after 33 1/2 years it's time for something else. I don't see any need for full time work, just something to do and make a few bucks so it seems worthwhile. Guess I should spend a few months finishing up the house we just built, then some quality car/moke garage time. But I sure do feel good now that the exit door is in sight. 71.gif
Holy smokes, congrats. I could use a hand on all my projects, just saying. 9.gif
That's awesome and daunting to me. I've got at least 19 to go before I hit my retirement. And then I'll probably grab a civilian job anyway. So who knows...
Congrats though. Enjoy it.
I have 31 years and two months before retirement.
With my luck, I will either be working until I fall over dead or end up living under a bridge. :o
Congrats! I am enjoying retirement a lot! You get to decide what you want to do each and every day! Nothing bad about that!
Congratulations!!!
I'm on the. Freedom 155 plan myself 50.gif

Congrats Willie_B!
24 more years on the mortgage...can't retire until then. :(
Hi Willie B,
It was nice to meet you in VA.
Take some time to do what you want. Things don't have to be done right away.
A way different timeline.
Congratulations!
Regards

I do not think I could retire. Props for you to be able to do so at such a young age. My grandfather retired in his late 50's too.
My house should be paid off (for the second time, long story) in about 7-8 years, then we are going into overdrive on the retirement savings. I am 47 years old.
Time for a fun hobbies!!
I vote car stuff!!
Paul Newman got into auto racing in his late 40's..... just sayin.....
