DH has been retired for 1 week and he is still floating on cloud 9 and isn't bored at all.
He does like saying things like: I will never have another day off. LOL All my days are off.
Congrats and have fun planning.

After working most of the last 45 years I retired in June and I love it. I did take off enough time to have 2 dauughters. Now I also have 2 grandkids and have plenty of time to spoil them. Just, wish they lived closer to me.

Good for you. I have 3 1/2 months to go. Looking forward to it in many ways except one. Less money=less fabric buying.

Owie, buy all the fabric that you can now. Then when it is hot you can "camp and sew" in the air conditioning, if it is raining you won't get wet running for fabric, if it is cold and snowy you can stay inside and keep warm.

YAY!!!

Unfortunately I had to go back to work. If one more thing broke or went wrong I was gonna scream. So guess I'm stuck for a few more years. My nursing retirement stinks-won't even pay the house note. How sad is that?? Hope your's is much better!!

When I retire again-I'm gonna collect my SSN too!!

Have fun!!!

Congratulations AGAIN for you! Big Grin

As long as I have a payment of any sort (vehicle right now) and DH is content to sit at home and do nothing - Oh! And all my friends are still working so we can't just jump up and go any time we want...I plan on working until they run me off!!

I came in from work one day and asked DH what had he done that day...
He said, "Nothing."
I said, "But that's what you did yesterday."
He said, "I wasn't finished."

One would almost get the idea that you were anxious to retire. And we know that's not true, right? lollll

Congratulations,

i'm excited. gonna get to see Matt my oldest grandson play varsity baseball and my 2 younger ones too. that's what i'm looking forward too.

i've worked hard these last few years. paid my house off, all my credits cards too. getting all my ducks in a row. when i retire i may be poor but i won't be homeless LOL.

24yrs is enough and i've worked 47yrs of my life now it's my time not the time clock LOL.
