I love all the great encouraging responses. They make me feel like I've made the right decision. It looks like many of us came to the same conclusion that work was no longer who we are. I'm 59, and my wife retired 18 months ago at 57. It's amazing how much my attitude has already changed now that I don't have the stress of worrying about the job for the next few years. Thanks everyone.
I am not what you would call "healthy." When I told my doctor of our decision to go full time, he said:"Good, you will live ten years longer."
I had NO idea of the stress I was under until I retired and it was gone!
Welcome to the best way to live.
