20 years Retired.

I hit my 10 year retirement milestone last May. Retirement is glorious and highly underrated!

Fantastic Phil wishing you many more . My former boss and friend once told me he made it ; his 30 years retired now were equal to his 30 years on the job . That is now my goal but I only have 11 years retired after 31 on the job . What is another 20 just know it beats working no matter what I am doing .

Amen brother. I was blessed, and was able to retire at 55. Fourteen years in, and I have it down to a science now. At first I wasn't reading the signals correctly, and that was getting me into a bit of trouble. But I worked harder, paid attention, and I now know the look that says "Boy, you better find someting to do, and get out of my hair for awhile". So, when I see that look I head to the basement or the garage, and live to see another day of retirement.

Must be the same look you got from Tracy @Tracy Bowman a few months ago. ?

So this is what I have to look forward too?

Same look that has so many different meanings, none of them good for any man. When I got that look from Tracy @Tracy Bowman I though my wife had made her own account here just too make sure I wasn't getting out of hand.

BTW, just a word of advise from one that learned the hard way. Start paying attention early before you retire. I still wear the mental scars because I didn't learn soon enough. (Turkeys for Tracey. That's what I'm talkin' 'bout )

Hi Folks,

Today I achieved 20 years in retirement from Ford Motor Co. 2/3 of my Ford career...last 5 were Head of Ranger Vehicle Engineering. December 1 of 2002 I closed the door on my career and started a new adventure called retirement... It has been such an underrated adventure and I highly recommend it.

best,
Phil

congrats to you Phil & everyone of you that has hit the lottery (retired)
im seeing the end of the tunnel ATM recovering from knee replacement & after that all bets are off
my only concern is health insurance but once i figure that part out so am I

May I add my congratulations to you also Phil. 20 is a number that adds up quickly, doesn't it? Both my father and my father-in-law achieved more years in retirement than their working years. RIP.
I always asked them "what's it like?" Well, I'm almost 3 years into it myself now.
I think (IMHO) that anyone who worked anything remotely related to automotive are the most deserving to successfully retire at it. Cheers!
