I was planning on retiring in about 2 more years, but there have been some changes in FRS & I'm now thinking I may try about 5 more.
I'll be interested see how you like it.

Two years for me. Great to be able to hunt or do what you want to when you want to (or when your wife tells you to

I have been thinking about fishing a little more. I do love it. The problem is that all the places around here that don't require a boat are posted now.
I thought about buying a boat for years but found it easier to have friends with boats.
Don't have any retired friends with a boat.
Maybe I should buy one.
Or get some new friends.

Congratulations. Hate to pop your bubble but when I hung it up, I had it made in every way. No clock, no calendar, plenty of money, etc... and did exactly what I wanted to do exactly when I wanted to do it but it got a little old after about 2 years.I will start my last week working for the man tomorrow.

I was in the same field at various levels from working on the shop floor to upper management and to Director of Engineering with the last two companies I worked for.
Same kind of work for a 40 year career.
I MISS WORK- and been seriously thinking about going back for 2 or three more years.
I LOVED every job I ever had except one and I quit that one after about 8 months without anything else lined up. It was bad.
Don't get me wrong, retirement and doing what you want is a fantastic thing but I dearly miss my line of work. Every single day was something new and almost always a serious challenge.
Good look in your new adventures and I hope you don't miss it like I did. I never thought I would, but I do.

Cross threading is better than two lock washers.
Will you guys pitch in and collect a big (Big) love donation and send it my way so I can join the "I’m retired” Club? Please!
Congratulations @flatwoods !

You sound a lot like me. I love my job. I'm good at what I do but it is something different every day.
Work with good people. I think about all of that.
I have lots of interests and things to do.
We will see.
I have the option to work part time and bring home quite a bit more than I do now. For that I am thankful
I will figure it out about January.
Congratulations ! I bet you’ll fit right in . My dad retired a few years ago and went back to work part time. With zero bills and set up pretty good for himself . I asked him about a year ago why in the heck was he working , he said maybe I like working 3 days a week . He turned 71 today . And he’s got more hobbies than anyone I know

59 here and still can't make more than $1350.00 until I'm 62. (I think, don't quote me on that)
You can make a lot doing cash jobs if you are healthy enough to do that kind of work. I can work, but me and outside heat don't jive well. I've always worked inside, not always air conditioned but better than being in direct sun. Plus, that was when I was real young. The last thirty something years were either heated and air conditioned plants, most of that being in the engineering offices.
If you do under the table, make it green money only. No checks. No money orders, pay pal or cashapp.. Just Benjamins. No paper or electronic trail.
