Work that is.
I've retired today even though I'm not really old enough yet, but what's money anyway............

Hopefully that should mean more garage time!
In fact woo and a bit of hoo as well!

Contrats on giving yourself a good Christmas gift.

You're ahead of me by about 1-1/2 years.

Congrats!!!! Enjoy it, you'll wonder why there aren't enough hours in the day to do all the stuff you have wanted to do.

Welcome to the world of Old Retired Farts!

I chucked it in at 62 three years ago and haven't regretted it for one second.

I did it all the wrong way round and now I passed the age at which I should have retired, I am more busy than ever. How did that happen?

Of course it's the usual story, if we have the time we don't have the cash and if we have the cash we don't have the time.

Congrats! Enjoy the fruits of your labor. I'll be doing the same...in about 25 years, lol.

Oh man, I'm green with envy. As I get older, I increasingly realise I'm cut out for a life of leisure ...

Well done, I got out two years ago. The graveyard is full of people who "couldn't retire". Remember shrouds don't come with pockets.

I chucked full time work and went self employed in 2009.
best thing I've ever done.
I only work when I have to to keep stock up.
which most of the Time I only work 1 week in a month.
I've not done any work since november.
man of leisure.
you did right Alan chucking it all in.
spend as much time with your lass as you can.
don't mean to be morbid but my late sister and her husband had big plans when he retired.
but it never turned out that way. he started to get Alzheimer's system while still working.
retired and quickly went down hill and passed away and 2 years later my sister died of cancer.
so all their plans never materialise.
so with time you've got make the most of it....
