I've always tried to learn from people who have experience. Every senior I've met has never said that wished they could go back and work a few more years.
Yup. Me too. I'm finding that work is actually getting in the way. (Time wise.) I think that's a sign if finances shows an opening.
It's nice to be able to take a nap at 1:00 after lunch rather than going back to work. lolCongrats...I pulled the pin at 51. Best decision I ever made.....Unless of you count 9 14 33 40 41 and 49
I usually go fishing at the crack of dawn and back for breakfast.
It's funny how my sleep pattern hasn't changed, but at least now I can take a nap anytime I want.
The group of Millwrights that retired 4-5 years before me got an offer that several found to go to turn down. We had gotten a 1.00 an hour raise to join the welders, riggers, pipe fitters, hydraulics, carpenters, engine repair, and a couple other groups. So we needed trained in those crafts. They were paid their pensions plus they made around 10.00 more an hour then we were getting to train us. When they went to other plants they made even more plus expenses. My group of guys were offered great jobs at other local steel mills but I wanted no part of that.

Congrats Jim. I went to just two days a week just so I can earn the minimum. My wife still works so that takes care of health ins. My mental outlook towards work has greatly improved since I don’t give a crap about their deadlines.
