Interesting! Glad you are as bright as a light with your funny uplifting music list!
My retirement plans areā¦ My funeral lol because thatās when Iāll be able to retire
Iām retired for 12 years! There hasnāt been one moment of regret or boredom. My income is twice what it was when I was working full time. The freedom feels so good! It wasnāt easy to get here but after working for 45 years and saving and investing carefully, Iām happy to be here now!
Iām a different form of retired - permanently disabled. Other than some small side gigs like paid surveys and as a poll worker during election season for some āwalking aroundā money, I rely on disability.
YES! ā¦After serving almost 22 years in the Army, I retired December 2021ā¦#lovinglife
Not Today though working 16 hour shift!
Seems the question is not as simple as yes or no.
Some leave a job or career after so many years and then do something else. Maybe be a part ime gig, go back to school for the thing you wanted to do but put off or volunteer in some way. Maybe do something seasonal in another part of the country or connecting with neighbors youāve said āHiā to for years. And so much more.
Military retired - still canāt afford to live and so Iāve got about 25 more years before I can retire from this other job
That is a fantastic program! More employers should offer that to their retirees! When you do āre-retireā youāll have more money to do all the things you want to.
Retired, yes. Awesome? Well not so much.
Iām still fighting to get my pension. So far $700.oo in certified paperwork. Now I have a new contact to fight withā¦
Medicare? Thatās a 6 day search and sign up every year to remain covered.
Im beginning to think they try to maximize your stress so you die sooner and save the govt money.
Retiring soon? Take a Valium before making that first phone call.
In about 30 yearsā¦maybe
Thank you!
My father in law did 20 years Navy and is also enjoying retirement.

Too personal to clarify
You
Ugghā¦ I feel youā¦ Same here, will probably die at work, lost too much money with company restructuring, one income family.
Retirement is a dream statistically speaking. One income family living the dream of working til you die or canāt.
āRetiredā - from career. Living off savings. Full time caregiver for family. No pay. No vacation or holidays. No backup. Makes office work a pleasant alternative.
The kittehs wonāt let me. They know Iād spend even more time outside helping the sea turtles. Soā¦here we sit snuggled on the couch working. But at least thereās that.
Retired 7yrs ago July. Able to live on SS and Medicare after paying in 50yrs, but now realize I made huge mistakes. When I look around, I should never have served my country, gone to college or worked. Should have turned my severe arthritis into a disability before a shoulder and 2 knee operations. Thankfully retirement doesnāt require much movement other than banging on my keyboard trying unsuccessfully for a BOC
