Life begins, congrats! Make sure you have something to do that keeps your mind active.... inactivity and complete lack of stress is the true silent killer....

There is an adjustment period, when I retired the wife was on a 6 week medical leave. It was hard on her, I usually worked 10's and had at least 2 hours travel. she missed her alone time. NOO problemo I headed to the shop! Now she's back to work, I do some housework, (only fair) and enjoy it.

JeffSTL · « **Reply #30 on:** December 17, 2012, 05:02:16 AM »

Enjoy. Most people of my generation will never get to retire. Pensions are a thing of the past, unionn busting, rising age for social security, and healthcare costs will make it a long shot.

Oh, I got this figured out real quick!

I now know why retired folks say they have to much to do, to many projects, don't know how I got anything done, I'm so busy..blah..blah.

You tend to postpone things because you have the time to do so. I did it all week! Well, two days I just watched old movies on TCM and listened to the wind blow!

Just like McDonald's.."I'm lovin it!"

I dunno who old you are, but I fear you are right, and that I'm in the same boat as you.

toytuff · « **Reply #35 on:** December 21, 2012, 05:56:23 PM »

You have to remember that I paid into my own retirement at a very high rate. 11% of income.

I also paid a tier 1 tax which is the same as a Social Security tax. I paid 2 tax rates.

This is not a Federal pension but a pension I paid into. Paid a lot too. I'll colect as long as possible.

I don't begrudge you for your retirement success, toytuff. You earned it...congratulations. 38 years old. I contribute the max, 15%, to my 401k but it will never be enough to retire on.
