Recommended Posts

There are those who are retired a long time ago and are use to it, and then there is the new ones who has no idea what is about to happen to them.

Years ago only the rich could retire before there official date to finish work, but with private pensions and savings it is no possible for the working class to join these retirees doing what they do best.

So what does it feel like to say no more work and do what you want when you want too, is it worrying at first or is it worrying all the time or is it a case where life is just great.

It feels great to no longer have a boss to please in order to get by with money.

Although I didn't care for retired life back in the States, I find that my retired life is much more enjoyable in the Philippines.

I always knew I was meant to be retired.  Too bad I had to wait until I was 48 to quit work. They wanted me to waste my whole life working?  I love it. There is nothing I miss about working.  My dad hated retirement, but he always identified as his job, I did not.  :tiphat:

Retirement can be boring. You have to find a way to stay busy and interested. And having fun costs money😀.

One of the few times I can provide a useful answer.

 

Steve, remember the post you made several days ago detailing the issues you were having at work and how you were starting to loose it?

I think you may have answered your own question.:shades:
