Being off this week has shown me that. Monday, helped a buddy unload a truck load of 26 pallets of merchandise. Tuesday, built and installed a temporary electrical service on my son's land so they can start his new house. Wednesday mowed 3 acres and fixed stuff around the house. Thursday fishin. Friday cut and split 2 rank of firewood. Thank goodness I go back to work next week. Retirement would kill me!!!:bash
I used to think the same thing, but I have been amazed at how busy I can keep myself --keeping up with the almost endless chores and busy work that I can find for myself.
The only difference now is: I can start and stop whenever I choose and now I can take naps at any time of the day with no one to tell me any different.
Still seem to get a whole lot done... even at my own pace. Trust me, time and age has a way of making retirement far more desirable as you go along.
I couldn't wait till I was old enough to piddle around the house. Now that I am, life is good.
Slow and Steady wins the race.

I will probably work til noon the day of my funeral.:Rofl
Been retired 16 years. Shortly after I retired I began to wonder how I ever found time to go to work.
I find it is like grandkids way better than waiting for it. Now if people would quit asking if I want to work.
Lol
Dad says he works more now than before he retired

It is all true, my wife and I stay busier after we retired. The good news is that it's all stuff that we want to do. So yes being a member of the geezer club is definitely a good thing. lets go catch a mess.
I stopped working the day I retired! Now if I do something, it’s NOT work!

I bet you will do just fine, it is easy peezy of course that may change in the next 30 years till you get old enough to retire
Hmmm, 30 years huh? That would put me closing in on 90. Yep, sounds just about right.Quote:

Retirement is a light at the end of a tunnel, hope it ain't a train.
I get pretty tired of getting asked"when are you going to retire?"
Must look like I need to I supose....
Had always wanted to at 55.....63 now and keep looking at keeping my nose to the grindstone til legal 65 1/2....may or may not make it.Could become another Covid-19 fatality...who knows.

was fortunate as my work wasn't and loved being a headhunter but then we started traveling and wife already retired so reluctantly did. Am busy all the time doing stuff and has given us time to watch grandkids, travel and go to our different houses. I get plenty done arguing with strangers on the internets just for sport! Plus doing as much outdoors as possible and able to help out when folks need it so it's been just fine.
