Okay Jim:

I HATE You!

Enjoy your retirement. Just remember you will no longer have time to do anything that you think you want to do!

Just a Warning

You will find yourself involved in more stuff and have less time to do everything. Soon you'll wonder how you had time to do everything you did while you were working 'cause you don't anymore.

Moonsailor, I hardly get to sail now. When I am 86 I may get out a little more if the bones allow it.

I haven't even really started working yet...:doh:

but my dad is nearing early retierment in 670 some days, yes he counts down, he then wants to take a containership from Hamburg to Norfolk (as a passenger) since he will finally have the luxury to "waste" time

Jim, before my friend retires some months back he would complain he hadn't enough time to bring his boat somewhere. Now that he's retired, he still hadn't time to bring his boat somewhere. He's even busier now than before he retires. Go figure.
Good luck and have a happy retirement sailing all you want and where you want to go but didn't have the time to.

Retirees... an endangered species?

90 more days until retirement. Go ahead hate me....
Best wishes, Jim. May you have many healthy years to enjoy it.

I suspect that fewer and fewer of us will be able to take fully-funded retirement. My wife and I are about 13 years behind you, but only my wife has a pension. We of course have retirement savings and home equity.

For me, my "retirement" will probably be working part-time in a fun, undemanding job, that can take us where we want to go.

So, in 20 years, when you buy sandwiches and boat parts from a nice old couple with a tiny store somewhere in Georgian Bay, that will hopefully be us. ;)
