My Anniversary

Retired the first time 37 years ago at 38 (USAF) retired "for real"
27 years later at 65. Been really retired for 10 years.

BTW I have known a couple of people who retired at a young age (retired for real) It had nothing to do with welfare, unemployment or anything like that.
I was through steady working and planning for it,taking calculated risks and playing most all their cards right.

Most of us are not so forward thinking.Me included.
I don't know the OP's story but some folks are sure quick to jump to conclusions.

Yeah no kidding, bunch of grumps. To the OP, congrats. I can only dream of that right now. 14 yrs to go.

I say congratulations also! I'm retiring next year AT 57 years old... Can't imagine already being retired for 20 years, but wow! Good for you! I always try to share in other folks happiness when they share it with me! :)

I didn't start RVing until a couple of years later.

We have over 600 people here in the UK like that
We just call them "Politicians"

I'm just the oposite. Retired but never quit working.

I guess that means you haven't retired, you just stopped working at 37 and you're still on the payroll??? Must be a government job like the one I had. Just kidding -kinda.
