The O'Meara Himself Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I've been retired now for quite awhile and truth be told I'm enjoying every minute of it. Only problem is when I get up in the morning I've got nothing to do and when I go to bed it's only half done. Himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Crimes Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I retired after selling my part in a business.

Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 J Bar, my advice is work real hard at this retirement job. Be sure to please the bosses you don't have. Be sure to satisfy the customers you don't have. Be sure to keep all the workplace policies and directives you don't have. Be very mindful, you don't want to get fired from retirement. Got it???

Charlie Whiskers Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 YUP...CONGRATS J BAR. I retired almost 10 years ago when I hit the 62 mark. I was working part time after putting in 30+ years in a full time job. I was going to make more on SS than I was in the PT job. I found out I had more free time when I was working than after I retired. For the 1st 4 or 5 years the "honey do list" kicked in. I was about to go back to work to get days off again.
