Congratulations. When I pass the place I retired from, I just roll the window down and holler "Send my check!"

Hope its everything you'd expected. I'm coming up on 4 years and can't imagine continuing in the salt mine...unless I found something I really, really enjoyed.

Yessir, it surely does. I've got just enough to do here between the house remodel and the farm to stay pleasantly busy, if I want to. If I don't feel like workin', there's a dozen or more nice lakes less about an hours drive (or way less!) away.

I work harder now than I did at my last job. After leaving the daily grind I opened a camera sales and service business. That wound up having my wife and I driving all over the eastern US.
Then I totally retired in 2000. Well until there are chores to do and things to fix.

9 yrs for me sure does not seem that long .
lets just say I have got maybe 25% of what I wanted to do when I retired done
I have found over that time I have burst of enthusiasm and jump right in 😃 and get some projects completed
but also have a little procrastinator in me and say well it can wait a few more days 😕 and it shows up more every year 😣
I know I will not get all my projects completed before I am on the wrong side of the grass .
but if we have all achievable goals and projects I will say were not reaching far enough with out dreaming about our next goal or what we want to get next we might as well be dead

Congrats!
I expect to work until the youngest graduates college. So a good 15 more years if my head doesn’t explode first.

when I retired... I made a list of honey-dooz, projects, etc. I used an 8x14 yellow leagel pad.. Halfway thru the 2nd page, I lookedthe whole thing, over real close.. Thru it in the fireplace and never made another list.... That list was depressing!!!!

I will have been retired 13 years this Memorial Day. Have been offered a couple jobs since I have retired, one was a very large gun shop that deals in collectible firearms. But I said when I retired I was closing the books. I mean if I wanted to keep working I would have stayed where I was at, I was the oldest in seniority and could hold any turn or switch engine I wanted to. After 4 or 5 months of being retired I thought I might half to get a job so I could get some rest, but that is what happens when you put things off 20 years or so around the farm. Lol The secret to retirement is don’t be come idle. As they say, never slow down never grow old, but do take time to smell the rose’s.

Because of perpetual pilfering of the pot by our government goons I will never get to retire.

Enjoy NeoBlackdog. It's important to stay busy with a hobby, outdoor life, other home type projects, etc. I retired #1 from GM in '92, retired #2 from Beckman in 2011, formed an S-Corp in 2012, and finally gave it all up after working for a client from hell a few years later. Now I enjoy doing woodwork, tending a good sized garden, and cutting trees and splitting firewood. That's (firewood) is about to end though. It will seem a little strange at first, but hang in there and you will love retirement.
