Thanks...I will.

Honestly...that is part of why I am retiring. The heart attack in 2022 reminded me that I am not getting any younger.

Thanks....I plan to do more of what I want to and not what the company wants me to do.

(Oh and more of what my wife wants me to do too)

Congratulations!

You will enjoy it.

I don't think you need to rush into a new activity, unless you are already involved with some project and would like to be more involved.

No need to commit yourself to some situation where somebody expects you to show up. They aren't the boss of you. You are.

Thanks....sounds like you have been here before.

My wife told me she is giving me 6 weeks of grace to decompress and relish retirement. Then she says the "honey-do" list is fair game.

Congrats! Just checked my countdown clock and I have 6 Months and 20 days to go.

It will go quicker than you think

Congrats Mosbonian. I am not retired but I have spent enough time with retired people to give one piece of advice: Have some kind of well-rounded exercise regimen that you prioritize every week as if your life depended on it.

I'm about 5 years into retirement and have made 'puttering' an art form. A series of low key household projects sprinkled liberally with internet perusal, the planet, word puzzles, etc.

A couple years after I started working, the plant manger for our manufacturing facility retired after 35 years there. He was the original manager of the plant - it was pretty much his baby and he had poured a lot of effort into it. Anyway, about months after he retired, the office got a call from his wife, asking, "Is there anything Bob can do out there? Anything?" lol

Wondering at what point my wife will be calling someone to come take me off her hands....or get me away from "fixing " things.

stay busy, those that retire and don't have hobbies or stay busy struggle and many die soon after. So, find something that stimulates you and keeps you busy, truly have a bucket list and try to check it off, and live long and prosper...

Enjoy, get hobbies or a charity you like to help out.

I'm right behind you. 1 week and 20 years or so
