Retired last August at 65 1/2 after working 44 years as an engineer in the chemical industry and consulting businesses. May start working as a DX driver for the local Ford dealer in a couple months or a couple days a week at the old engineering firm. I am just enjoying myself right now. My wife and I will take a couple trips in the Vette; one to Corvettes at Carlisle in August.
Retired in 2007 after 35 year career LEO. I now enjoy my three Corvettes C6 2013 427 Convt. 60th, C7 2015 Z06/ Z07, C7 2019 ZR1/ ZTK and Camaros Gen6 2017 ZL1 and Gen5 2011 2SS/ RS. The only enjoyment greater than my performance cars are my seven grand-children age 6 mos. to 27 years.

Congrats, nice collection. Thanks for your service!
One week from today, I will be officially "retired." However, I will continue to do some sporadic contract work for my current employer for at least a few years.
Since my career for the past 40 plus years had demanded constant overtime, weekends, and high pressure deadlines, I'm looking forward to it...but I'm still a tad nervous.
I bought my new Vette last year to be my "retirement" car. And due to my work hours over the past year, it's still a new car to me since I've only clocked a little over 2,000 miles going on 13 months. I'm looking forward to a few long road trips a year.
I retired last July after 44 years. I now work part time that is flexible so i have time to spend with my Corvette. I have had 4 corvettes for over 42 years. A 1976, 1987,1989 and 2016.
Thirty-eight days away from retirement at age fifty-nine. I cannot wait, after thirty-five years in corporate banking, most recently a Managing Director at a large bank. Will not miss the 55-60 hour work weeks and consistently being on call.
Trip planed the week after I retire in the Corvette to Big Bend National Park and then on to San Diego, couple weeks total. Right now I have only 2,000 miles. I plan to put four or five thousand miles a year in road trips. I have about 1.2 million miles on United Airlines, much prefer traveling by car.
In '94, I retired from the USAF, after 27 years, and then retired from the State of Alabama in '08, after 12 years. After that, I did some Dealer Trade driving for three difference dealerships for a while, but now fully retired. Between golf, Corvettes, and Jeep activities, it seems like I am constantly racing daylight! It's all good!
Retired at 55 and now 64. Bought a Hemi Challenger after retirement. Was looking at a C6, glad I waited for the C7, got a 2017 from Macmulkin. Drove it back across the country to Utah.
The only thing I miss about work is Launch day(Satellites) (adrenaline rush) and the two shuttle missions I did being part of Houston Mission Control. Other than that, I like playing tennis a little golf and taking the Vette with my wife on runs with the local club!
Financially independent, but 18 years from mandatory retirement as an airline pilot, if I can make it that long. At present I mostly do the job for two reasons...seniority, and to mentor the next generation of pilots entering the profession.
I am retiring in 20 days after 47 long hard years of full time work. I plan on driving my C7 more and joining a golf league. I have been looking forward to this day for 47 yrs!!
wife and I retired last June after teaching, she after about 25 years I after 38 (coaching a ton as well)...might work part-time but, so far the best part (besides the Vette)
is not what I'm doing but what I don't have to do...….
