We're about the same age. I'm 61. At some point I did the math and realized that I had enough savings to retire. All those years of being anti-social and staying home at night added up to big cost savings.

Good for you! I just turned 63 and I'm looking at retirement by the end of the year. I blew a lot of money being....married and then being me. Blew a lot on being a Chiefs fan. That's turned out to be worth it.

So now that you're retired are you going to get out and be social?

I'll probably be more social just because I'll have more time, but that probably won't bring me up to average. I'm a wallflower at heart. But I suspect I'll end up putting myself into more new situations, and those tend to generate more social stuff.

Good luck with your retirement plans. I've been retired for over four hours now, and I'm really enjoying it.
