I read this book prior to retirement. " How to Retire Happy Wild and Free"
Good read for those approaching retirement on how to adapt to being retired.

Sounds like you are set financially.

I just agreed to sell my ownership to my partner yesterday. I am really set at this point. I just don't think I can ever fully retire. lil momma and I have been interested in selling Real Estate. We would be good at that and I think I would enjoy it. Doing that instead of nothing for at least awhile would really leave my son in a good spot too.

Is Mosbonian getting a little more loving with all this free time or is the wifey telling him to get a new hobby?

Been happily married for almost 40 years.....and definitely married up.

What has kept me a happily married man is never discussing my sex life online.

How about videos instead? That could be your new retirement hobby, videographer.

I retired on 19 Jan after 25 years of being a technical writer.

Best decision I ever made was doing the 10% pre-tax contribution to my 401K. It was painful the first few years, but now that I received my first monthly payout, it definitely was worth it. Also, was lucky that for the first 12 years, the company was doing a 10% match (got dropped to 6% after that, but 6% beats nothing).

Now, I'm moving into the house-husband stage while my wife finishes up her last few years with the government and gets her pension/401K going too. Definitely perusing the "What's for Dinner" thread for ideas. You guys are way creative.

Also, taking advantage of my downtime to get some writing in. Hope to get at least two novels finished this year.

So, life is good, and we're beginning to look around to decide where the final retirement location is going to be (definitely NOT Maryland . . . state never met a tax it didn't like). But, so far, after two and a half months of being retired, things are going well.

I'm targeting July 1st to be my retirement date. My wife still has 3 years to go before she can retire with a full teachers pension.
All vehicles and credit cards will be paid off by then, but I still have a number of years left on the house mortgage.

I'm looking forward to doing stuff around the house that I haven't had an opportunity to do. Maybe take up golf again etc. I don't think I'll be bored with all the stuff I will have time to do once I retire.

Congrats on the retirement! This is my first week and mostly what I am doing is decompressing....enjoying what it is like to not have to manage people or get up early.

Found out that I had forgotten what it was like to not have pressure each day.
