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.

I can identify with so much of this. July 1st, it will have been a decade of retirement for us.

Like you mentioned, debt free was number one for us, so we have yet to touch our savings even though inflation has cut it's value in half.

I learned after a couple years it had been me creating my own stress in life, and it has not changed.

Like you mentioned, you are doing your own shit and I have a ton of it to do. Car/Boat shop, wood shop, etc. etc.

We enjoy our own company with kids and grandkids visits being the best.
