Hopefully that all changes next winter when I am fully retired? I hope to do more volunteering at the PPSC and hopefully get out a heck of a lot more! I am currently getting all my paperwork in order and have a financial advisor who is helping me with a bunch of things. 4 months to go before it is official. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Mustangs and Challengers (newer) actually. Some older guys (bald) driving around in the 70's and late 60's models. Trying to hang onto their youth I guess. Hope retirement works for you, I'm having far too much fun to even consider that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fortunate that I can literally work from anywhere and do many times when I travel, although that part can be a noose. Today I ended up working from home as I helped my son with his Brampton Flight prep and then closed a large US order and working on another in Chile. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just divest myself of all responsibilities and probably pick up a part time sales job or something to keep busy. Or I may not and just be a golf course Marshall. Son is soloing next week. He is pumped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. My fun ran out a couple years ago where I was dreading going into work. I'll have 36.29 years in come retirement time so it's time to go. Started there when I was 18 and will be 55 in May. I have always, just like the commercial, stuck to Freedom 55 so that is what I am doing. 1 hour ago, Usedtoskidoo said: I'll just divest myself of all responsibilities and probably pick up a part time sales job or something to keep busy.

I am not really sure what I am going to do other than enjoy life, enjoy my freedom and enjoy not waking to an alarm clock. I have my trailer, my boat, and of course my sleds for the winter. I also would like to get my Monte Carlo back on the road plus do a bunch of things around the house as well. Honestly, I don't foresee me ever getting bored nor wanting to work again but one never knows. Edited March 28, 2019 by irv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically wife has another 6 years before she can fully retire, so I will go at least that long. Frankly we are pretty much set now, investments set to greatly outgrow withdraws going forward. We don't do budgets except for the cottage build, this is the design so far, but the start will likely have to wait til 2020 or early 2021 now. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
