Time to learn to say, "No." If you have a truck and know how to use tools, they are coming for you and your time.

Congrats! I retired today after 23+ years in the Air Force and it feels great!

I plan on taking the rest of the year off to get plenty of hiking, fishing, hunting, and camping in.

Congratulations! Been retired for 25 and lovin every minute of it. We travel....Alaska twice, Hawaii twice, Belize, Canada and almost all the lower 48. Moved to SW Colorado in 2000. Hunt & fish all over the western states.

Have fun , you only go around once, make the most of it.

My wife is giving me a week long fly fishing trip with our kids in Belize! Life is good.

Today was my last day after 24+ years as a Federal Employee.
Been ready to go for about 5 years now.
Just needed to wait for the right time / opportunity.
Praise God!!!!

Congrats! I retired 5 years ago and it has been the best 5 years of my life.
When I was a youngster, I had time, fitness, but not much money.
Then mid-life, I had fitness, money, but not enough time.
With retirement I have fitness, money, and plenty of time.

Congratulations!

Retirement is the transition point where you can choose to do what you like to do when you wish to do it. There are things you can do better than anyone else.

I liked my profession but reached a saturation point on the egos, politics and shitty management. I still like to work in my field but on my terms.

Enjoy it for me boys. I’m 31 with a baby due in 8 weeks. Retirement looks a long way off from here!

It goes faster than you can imagine. Enjoy the journey, especially with raising your kids. But I will say, retirement with money is fantastic.

Very well said sir...I totally agree and I am thankful.

I'm so grateful that we didn't live for retirement...instead, we lived for each day, enjoying life and countless family adventures while also saving money for future retirement someday...and now we are there!

I had a boss that was a certified A-hole. So much tho that I only offered to go to his funeral if they would let me pee on his casket as they lowered it into the grave.

Anyway, he spent every day plotting his retirement and stocks. He died two weeks after retiring. Never recieved a check.

There is a God! I only hope that global warming is him burning in hell.

Enjoy the trip. You have no idea how things will end up

Congrats. Been out for 8 years last month. It doesn't suck. I was 53 at the time and my haircut lady said I was too young and you need a plan. I told her my plan was not to go to work anymore. Do all your running around during the week, during 10 and 2. We don't go anywhere on the weekends.

Congratulations and hope you’re enjoying retirement!

 

[mainbeam pursuit2]

Congratulations! I'm down to my last six months for retirement. Can't wait.

Congrats and enjoy!

I am grateful as i recently retired from an echo chamber of wokeness and don't have to be subjugated by DEI.

This has to be one of the biggest perks of retirement! We know when (and where) we can go shopping without fighting crowds. Ditto on going out to eat.

When I go hiking daily I can pick the time (optimal weather) and place (no crowds) to get the most enjoyment.

When I go backpacking or hunting, I almost always go during the week—rarely on weekends.

No work to interfere!

Congrats, retired 11 years ago at 49. Been busy as hell since. Why only spend 10 days in Colorado?
