Retirement

[Alex Wheeler]

Today I heard through the grape vine that I was retiring next year. Not unless I win the lottery lol. I am going to try all little bit of a different scheduling process and have not taken in much work recently because I am trying to get caught up but retirement is not in my future for a very very long time probably ever. Just FYI

Don’t you love it when you find out stuff about yourself that you didn’t know ?

I have retired twice, it's not all it's cracked up to be.

A few years ago my dad asked my mom, "Do we have enough money to retire?" She responds, "No Dear, not the both of us."

As long as you don’t find out that you may be your own grandpa.....

After my divorce my retirement age moved up to 106.

I've been retired for quite some time now . . . and loving it. Retirement to me is not necessarily quitting work, but a change in work or how I go about work. Like, I don't have to make money to survive and I do what I like to do when I like to do it.

Retired 4 years ago. No regrets at all. Enjoying the freedom from a 20 year Construction Co. ball and chain that I created. It was good but glad it's over.

A $2000.00 monthly pension is a joke !!!! So you go back to work and keep working until you drop.

I’m retiring in 6 months. Already put the boss on notice. The wife and I are headed to Hawaii a month later for the start of some r&r. I’ve got 9 big game tags for this fall. The plan is to beat that number every year after for the next 10 years. No regrets anticipated here at all...

We think retirement is great . My wife retired at 52 she is now 61 . I'm 63 and retired . One of my wife's best friends since the 6 th grade is laying at home dying or bladder cancer she has always worked .Gayle was a hard worker , she provided insurance for her family and income. My wife went to visit her friend a few weeks ago Her friend looked at my wife and asked my wife so is this the way it is u work all your life then this . Yes they worked hard saved put kids through college . They were planning on buying a winter home on Pawley Island SC . My wife came out with tears in her eyes and said she doesn't regret retiring early one bit. We both came from families that parents died early . U never know .

I'm retired. I get up in the morning with nothing to do and by 10 AM I'm 2 weeks behind.

Exactly! Retirement is the best job I ever had. Every day is Saturday!!

Life isn't fair and many have had misfortunes, often too late in life to recover, that prevents a "retirement". I consider myself a VERY luck man to have made it to where I am. . . and especially to be able to afford an expensive hobby like this one.

I lasted thru 2 weeks of retirement! I sat on my butt, watched movies all day, drank too much beer. After two weeks of that, I was so bored I went back to work! Volunteer work, tho. Church, friends, good causes and such. Very satisfying!

Retirement my ass! Daughter got divorced a few years ago with two kids (twins 8 yrs old). Now I’m Pop-Pop to a whole new generation. I don’t remember having this much fun as a dad. Only problem is they never shut up, now if I can just find the “Off” switch……..maybe I need a Toddie?

Retirement is coming soon. I'll be bored within a couple of weeks so, I will find something to do with my time, perhaps a part time gig. Biggest reason for retiring is that the level of stupid in the industry is on a whole new level these days!

You have it all wrong, EVERY DAY IS MONDAY! The working folks will hate you when you say this.

Your not doing it right then.

If you have enough money to do what you want, retirement can be a good thing.

if you don’t, you will get discouraged, depressed, turn into a couch potato, get fat, sick and die.

I’m 74, I am part of the ownership of a thriving Machine Shop business, and I have no plans to “retire”.

I love what I do. I like being in charge. I have a fear of being a “Usta”.
