I just got the nod from our financial advisor, and....

After nearly 36 years, with Chrysler, I retired November 30, 2024 (just after I turned 64). Fortunately, I was a salaried bargaining unit member (in the UAW) and have a great pension as well as health care (in addition to Medicare when I turn 65). I really haven't experienced retirement yet as my wife and I have been so busy between Thanksgiving and the Christmas/New Year Holidays. Today is my first day of "regular retirement". So far, so good!
