There is merit to that..with our seasons as short as they are....it's always an issue of not enough time..or too much stuff...or a combination of both...as you know..I love to pick on you...strangely enough..in this instance...you actually make sense..:giggle::giggle:;)

The longer you wait to retire is less time you get to enjoy what you really like to do. Just enjoying life or Drink Beer, get fat and kick the bucket sooner than you though. You're only prolonging the inevitable. I bailed in the middle of the scamdemic because all the restrictions there were with the customers. I haven't regretted it for a moment.

We're heading that way with the wife having health issues. Seriously thinking of selling everything and finish out with a very simple existence.
I'm the only one who feels this way.

I understand. I would be at work, now, but the boss wanted me to retire @70. It took a few years to adjust, but I believe this was the best for us. I worked for 50 years, it was time. Now I'm putting my retirements to good use...

Everything the Government touches turns to shit & then some
All this climate change bullshit is killing what is left of the automotive sector not to mention what the famers are dealing with
When these idiots need more tax dollars they seem to find a way to create an issue & then tax it

Our Carbon tax increases April 1st by 23%
Only an idiot ( Justin ) would try to justify this

I'm @ 53 years and counting..(only now I own the company..a couple of them actually)..when I was in my early 20's never would have thought I'd be where I am today....(but I like where I am)..just wouldn't want unforeseen sickness or health issues dictate what I do..or how I spend my remaining years....like @ David..tough decisions ahead

I have to admit, it was a major life decision to retire. Retirement is a big step and it'll take some getting use to. If you don't have any hobbies it's even harder. I have friends that still haven't retired mainly because work is their life and they don't have anything to fill that void when they do retire. You'll find your new found passions when you retire, but picking a date should be a goal. You're going to find yourself busier after you retire and wonder how you made time for everything
