Soon you will be looking back and say how did I ever have time to go to work. I got an Amazon device to remind us what day it is so I don't forget to do things like put out the trash on the right day anymore. Enjoy what you worked hard your whole life to achieve.
Thanks Ed - I might need to search for that device. :D

Congratulations Duke! Welcome to the retirement club, you will not regret it.
Hey thanks Steve. It’s much better than that other club I’ve been hearing about on here. ;)

I'm scheduled for retirement in 2025...people at work don't know this but in my head it's 2025...
I'm looking at 2027. And ain't telling work shit.

55? That would have been something! 62 for me. I won’t collect the Canada Pension and a small work pension for a while yet.
Envious. Very happy for you!!!! But envious none the less.

Enoy. Well deserved no doubt. Wish you nothing but the best.

Congratulations! I’m officially 2 years retired today. Best decision I’ve ever made. It’s a mindset change but a good one. Enjoy!
Thanks Steve - glad you’re enjoying it.

Ahhhh the French Canadian system eh? I heard about the strike in France because they wanted to raise it from 62 to 64...I'm not ripe for retirement until I'm 67...

Congrats and more power to you Duke...

Congrats Duke (@DukeCanBuildit ). You'll find your new workweek of 6 Saturdays and a Sunday to be more busy than work, but not work??

Please don't start wearing these. o_O:oops:

Congratulations. I've been retired almost two years.
I have been surprised how fast the day goes by, not to mention how fast the weeks and months go by now.
I was joking with friends I may have to go back to work to slow time down lol.

I knew the month and year when I was going to retire from the day I started working. Uncle Sam has a minimum retirement age and years. I hit the eligible years 10 years before I was old enough, had to wait to be old enough. 35.5 years was a long countdown, but it's been the best decision of my life and it's only been less than 2 years. Enjoy your retirement Duke!
