Retirement typically includes several waves of boredom before you realize that you can start doing all the things you've always wanted to. I got a certificate in "Internet Programming." I wrote five science fiction novels: http://chronosscifi.com/index.html I exercise (which I've always enjoyed). I shoot nearly ever week. I started to enjoy cooking. And I get to hang around with you guys. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPQer Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 People where I work walk around complaining about work, and swearing that the day they turn whatever age, they are "out of here". Two weeks after retiring, they are back working PRN 3 days a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonny Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Yeah, I was planning on doing so in June. This works too. My company is moving it's entire accounting dept to the office in PA. They actually asked me if I wanted to move but I don't think it was a serious offer. I would not consider it anyway. I'm sure I'll find something to do part-time eventually. Not right away. Have some projects I want done around the house and a bit of traveling to do first 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 One thing to avoid, leave the television off. With a hundred or more choices, if you sit and scan the listings, you will find something to watch -- all day. And again tomorrow. Texas is always a great destination for the traveler. We have the Alamo. And cowsies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rellik Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Hospital volunteer. Lots of diff needs to be filled. Meals on wheels (I started in a church kitchen, building sack lunches,) now I'mma a site co-ordinator. Some people drive and deliver food. Others assemble sack lunchs. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXUSMC Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 You won’t regret it... you’ll feel like you control your destiny. You will make all the decisions about things that govern your daily life. No worry about accruing vacation days. One tip: make time for physical fitness. Establish a regimen that burns calories. Physical activity is as important as mental stimulation. My $.02. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWARREN123 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Take some time for yourself first and just look around to see if there is anything you mght be interested in doing or being part of. Don't jump on the first or even second thing that catches your attention. In time you will find your new balance in life and if you work it right it can be a very happy time in your life. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I mention that I've switched graham crackers and milk with binge watching. If I fall asleep in the middle of something, I get to re-watch it. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrB Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Looks like good timing, happy retirement. I am at that point myself. I am trying to work hip replacement into my equation before I leave. Dave. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janice6 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I remember when I told my company I was retiring. They wanted me to stay on. I told them that I spent all my life I worked for them, now is my time to work for me...…… I had been planning on my retirement as soon as I got out of the Navy and started my first job. Don't die for the job. They will simply hire a replacement and you'll be gone, probably not even missed. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonny Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 One good thing, being laid off gets me a severance. Good timing indeed. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
