Retirement
I just got in from signing my last papers, turning in my keys, and running my ID badge through a shreader.
Monday I will do what I want to do.

Congratulations! You'll love it - I retired six years ago after 38 years in the toughest part of the automobile industry (Manufacturing and Assembly), and I've never looked back since.

Congratulations. I retired young enough that I can enjoy playing with my cars. You will enjoy it and wonder how you had time to work

I stopped when I stopped having fun at work. Life is too short. Every year you work and don't enjoy it, is a year you don't play. We are trading them one for one, because there is a finite end on this deal.
And that's all the philosophy I can handle for one day!

My sincerest congratulations to you! In my early 40s I established a Freedom 55 plan. Through some modest but prudent investments I achieved my goal. I am not rich but not lacking anything in life other than unnecessary frills. Enjoy and be well!
