Satisfying, round #2
-
My point was that I do not have to get up at that time. I can work in my own time at my own pace.
I retired about 5 yrs ago. I do veggie garden, fishing and computer stuff; things that I really enjoy doing and all on my own time. That's my formula. It's a good mix of physical and mental activities.

Good luck. You will love it. Play with the grandchildren, they grow up too fast. Our youngest just finished college. Busy? you will wonder how you ever found time to work. I did the FIGMO on my hat many, many years ago. USAF First retirement after 28 years as employee. Second retirement after 6 years of traveling the country setting up networks at trade shows, contractor. Empty nest so wife went along. Third retirement after 22 years of IT/Network consulting, programming. Fourth retirement ? still doing some surveillance camera/system work, mostly remote. We did take time for some cruises and such. You need something to retire to, don't just retire from. (sitting on the porch watching the grass grow sucks)
>64 It’s weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.
well, I had the pleasure of arguing with my water department today (new post coming) and watching my 5 yo grandson. He and I have decided that he can come over this summer, and I'll teach him how to swim. So, there is project #1.
