Well, I made it!

[Big Glenn]

Wednesday was my last day at work. Never thought I would make it. I'm looking forward to more time spent with the smoker and trying to improve my skills, and more time on SMF.

I gave my 600 week notice at work earlier in the month, mostly in fun but turned into a big joke gets lot of ribbing and short timer jokes.

c'mon Jan 2031..

 

[Big Glenn]

Thanks everyone. I think it will take a few days to get in the groove but I am fired up.

I retired at 55. Never looked back. Enjoy.

 

[Norwester55]

Congrats, its a great feeling! I always warn anybody retiring to be careful as they drive out of the parking lot because their BP is suddenly going to drop 20 pts.

Awesome . We can draw full pension benefits at 55 and still work if you have the years in . Makes you pretty independent . Did that til 57 . I can't even imagine getting up and going to work any more .

Congrats, You will probably be as busy as when you worked, but now your doing what you enjoy! 5 years, 4 months and 20 days for me, but who's counting.

 

[ofelles]

Congrats! Retirement doesn't suck.

Thats pretty much my goal! I think we are on track for it too. my wife is older than me and she will be off the hook before I am, but house is paid for and we are saving like crazy.

 

[drdon]

Congratulations. Hope it is EVERYTHING you thought it will be! I wanted to do it at 55 but the numbers weren't there. But 6 more weeks now and I'll be joining you.

7 months to go. I'm tail gating my wife, as she is set for the end of February. I'm going to be attached to her leg like a dog. Otherwise I'm officially one year away.
