All those folks that say to you "don't retire you will hate it" are those folks who are WRONG! Probably because they are no where near retirement themselves. I LOVE IT.
Except now I don't have as much free time as I used to have when I was working. Thats because when something from the HONEY DO List comes up I cannot tell my wife Sorry I don't have time . Plus We have a foster Daughter who, now don't laugh, this is a true story, at 16 ran away and joined the Circus . She really did. Suddenly this lost child of ours returned home now at 36 with a 5 year old child in tow. So now my wife and I have this energetic dynamo of a 5 year old boy running us ragged. The upside is I got to take him fishing for his 6th birthday. Who's retired? I am a full time Grampa now.
