OTOH, I've already seen that backfire for my dad, who went back to work part time/remotely and now complains just as much about all the BS he gets roped into after saying he'd only come out of retirement do so much and only the things he wanted to do, and it would only be on his time, etc. OTOOH, people tend to think you are who you are by the time you're 40 or 50 or even 60, but studies have shown you change just as much or more as you get older... so, you never know what you could pick up as a new interest, and trimming down hours in one thing may open the door to acquiring new passions elsewhere. And of course it wouldn't feel as jarring in terms of figuring out what to do with life.

I think everybody makes the choices that are right for them and I've been blessed throughout life to have been mentored by great parents, great military and civilian leaders, and a family that has little moss growing on it. Live your life and never worry about anything others might say about it.

I would fret every time I made a withdrawal for my accumulated pile. The funny thing is the first 3 years my net worth continued to grow. I am tracking to have a decrease this year as we spent a pretty good chunk of money on our property. But after 4 years of livin the dream I am plenty confident that we are good to go. |

I am now officially retired. Just returned home from the happy hour my co-workers had for me. It is still hard for me to comprehend but I am ready for this new phase in my life.

I'm 66 and the idea of building birdhouses to sell at the local craft fair terrifies me.
Retiring just because it's the norm has made no sense. If you are self-employed and enjoying your work, keep doing what you are doing. YOu control your future. You can only play so much pickleball or golf. A friend sold his Utah company 5 years ago for big bucks. He's now starting a plumbing company because he got bored. Hard to put racehourses out to pasture. |

My wife is still working for a bit so laying off any big trips. I do plan on in late spring 2025 to hit up some passes in Colorado and maybe Utah for some trails. I have some other projects for the homestead that are higher on the priority list. At least I can work at my own pace now.
