Going on two years retired,named my boat job site,it keeps me in shape.Rearching out grabing swinging fish,bending over dropping them in cooler,ducking under tree limbs and logs,slapping skeers.No bells or screens to hurt my eyes or ears.I can heard a bushlytail just thinking about cracking a nut and see a chigger crawl up a ants leg.Pray everly night got to go back to earning a living and be more carefull not to fall over the trailer hitch again,love retire'ment.

As a P.T. who sees primarily geriatric patients I preach to folks everyday about the importance of maintaining a good activity level. With respect to muscles it is strictly "USE "EM OR LOOSE "EM"!! Remember, your TV can send you to an early grave! I'm 56 and I set my own hours and work everyday and love it......almost as much as Crappie fishing! The only thing that would cause me to retire would be some type of health problem that would limit what I am able to do. Anyway, just some FYI to think about...

luvpt, I'm just 3 years older than you and I hear what you're saying but I have to go to work to get a break. When I'm home I am working all of the time except if I'm hunting or fishing. lol I've got 81 and 1/2 acres to keep up and I never seem to run out of something that needs to be done. Our pastimes can be work too but its fun work! I don't think I will ever completely retire but maybe I can slow down a little.

Hoping to retire at age 55....I'm only 33 right now. Guess I've got awhile to go.

Hey Roger next time you see me on the water stop by and say hello, love meeting c.com folks. I'm ready for Connerly to get good again. Guess we can fish Cane Creek until them.

Doctors made me give it up 5 years ago fought it all the way but learned to love it now I fish and hunt all I can and I do not worry about the bills it is amazing what you can do without that you used to think was essential now my only financial worry is that the last check I write will bounce after that no worries.

Still working. The best part is that I love my job. With out it I couldn't fish and hunt.

**happyfish** · 10-10-2011, 09:44 AM

happy to be retired and happy to be fishing for last year and half

**DRPEPPER** · 10-10-2011, 10:14 AM

I think I have my wife thinking straight about what is important. I have a scheme going that will eliminate our mortgage... The one that I will never see paid off. It just don't make sense to me to make a 30 year note to a guy over 50.
Anyhow, I hope to "change carreers" in the next couple of years. Then maybe I will get to go fishing with Crappie Pro too.
