You will probably find that you have so many things to do, you'll wonder how you ever fitted work into your life. All the best for the future.

bavarianbrit Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Been retired four years now and wonder why I waited so long to do it, my money needs for day to day costs have really dropped off. Same as all the others = sorry no time, too busy doing what I want to when I want too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard lots of people say that and didn't believe it, but after nearly ten years I can assure you it is true, however you will be doing mostly what you want to do, when you want and if you want.

I have been retired for 4 1/2 years now - retired a little early (just short of 60) as the opportunity arose - and have never regretted it. Good luck and enjoy yourself.

Centrepin Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 You'll never have been so busy and probably tired in your life. After retirement it's a wonder we found time to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best for the future. I never ever really felt I had time to fit work into my life. I retired January 2002 aged 53 and have never for one second regretted retiring. Enjoy your retirement and hope it is a long one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) Great news and I hope you have a long and happy one. My advice to anyone, is to have a plan that involves some physical and some mental exercise you want that retirement to be healthy. I see so many that veg out and use age as the excuse.

I see so many that veg out and use age as the excuse. 100% agree with this. I just worked on my oldest sports therapy client to date a couple of nights ago, retired guy about to hit 70 years old. He's having a wee bit of back trouble now, nothing too severe so the biggest bit of advice I could give him was to keep himself moving and on the go. I wish you all the best in your retirement, now you can get out and buy some new toys, remember there's no towbar on a hearse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B725 Posted July 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Thank you all, I have lots to do, I have a large garden a 20 foot workshop/ shed the dog and gun helping at the farm when they need it. I used to enjoy my job but the last 2 or 3 years it has just got worse by the day caused by internal petty politics and it just feels the right time for me so happy day's.
