One Week to Retirement
Good afternoon fellow Planeteers!

Exactly one week from today I will log off my laptop, gather what is left of my belongings at the office, hand in my equipment and turn in my badge.

After almost 48 years in my selected occupation I decided that the end of March is my retirement date. I've met many good people in my line of work and made a great deal of life long friends....(some of them Chiefs fans too)

Without getting too sentimental.....I think I have run my race and done the best I could to always be at the top of my game.

Now comes the next stage of my life....and I do have plans. But it would be nice to hear from any of the rest of you who are retired as to what happened after you retired......did you take a few weeks off before just moving to something part time or volunteer work? Or did you just hit the ground running.

Any retirement wisdom is greatly appreciated.

(And no....I am not taking a trip to Belize nor will I be drinking any anti-freeze)

Thanks....I plan to do more of what I want to and not what the company wants me to do.

(Oh and more of what my wife wants me to do too)

Thanks...I will.

Honestly...that is part of why I am retiring. The heart attack in 2022 reminded me that I am not getting any younger.

I don't think you need to rush into a new activity, unless you are already involved with some project and would like to be more involved.

No need to commit yourself to some situation where somebody expects you to show up. They aren't the boss of you. You are.
Thanks....sounds like you have been here before.

My wife told me she is giving me 6 weeks of grace to decompress and relish retirement. Then she says the "honey-do" list is fair game.

Who knows...maybe what I will do is choose a different chapter each game and drive to that city. See some other groups.
Yeah chapters have been wanting me to go watch games with them. Maybe sometime we can meet in the middle and go to the Orlando chapter. They usually get 100+ Chief fans on game day.

I'll also probably go to Jacksonville, ATL, Vegas, LA and the other 3 chapters in my area. We are going to work on getting the international chapters we know exist into the Kingdom this off season.

Congrats Mosbonian. I am not retired but I have spent enough time with retired people to give one piece of advice: Have some kind of well-rounded exercise regimen that you prioritize every week as if your life depended on it.

I'm about 5 years into retirement and have made 'puttering' an art form. A series of low key household projects sprinkled liberally with internet perusal, the planet, word puzzles, etc.

A couple years after I started working, the plant manger for our manufacturing facility retired after 35 years there. He was the original manager of the plant - it was pretty much his baby and he had poured a lot of effort into it. Anyway, about months after he retired, the office got a call from his wife, asking, "Is there anything Bob can do out there? Anything?" lol

stay busy, those that retire and don't have hobbies or stay busy struggle and many die soon after. So, find something that stimulates you and keeps you busy, truly have a bucket list and try to check it off, and live long and prosper...

Congratulations and after 48 years, it sure sounds like you more than deserve it!

The only advice I have heard from nearly ALL my retired friends is be careful of the Home Depot addiction.

You have all this time, you see a few minor things you want to update, upgrade or fix at your house and you head to Home Depot. It starts innocent enough and you're there maybe once every 10-14 days and don't spend too much. Suddenly you are there every other day and you are racking up $1,000 visits like water.

Before you realize it, everyone in the store knows you on a first name basis, you've been named Customer of the Month and Visa card just upped your credit limit to $50,000.

I am close. Been a shop teacher for 34 years. Lots of steps on concrete have rendered my feet and ankles mush. I now have a scooter at school. Love teaching and fear walking away. Trying to transition in my brain and wallet what retirement will look like.
