I don't think anyone can be sure of enough money unless they are loaded. But I feel like it is time .So what are you going to do with all your free time? Any new hobbies? More time on MM
When you retire, how do you guys know for sure you have enough money to last until the end? This is something I'm always wondering about.
And do most of you retire about the same time as your wives?
I don't know, man, you're doing something wrong.
Congratulations DM! Sounds like you'll be living the dream. I'm envious.
It's one important necessity. Remember when we were young and jf was easy to get 8 + hours if we wanted to, and didn't have enough to take a whiz in the night ? Damn I wish I could sleep straight 8 !
Especially Yakima! They have so many bad actors.
My advice if you are asking these questions is to get a good financial advisor.
One morning I got up early and rearranged the spice cabinet in alphabetical order. A huge mistake. You'd think I went out and got a girlfriend or something.No problem for us. She bought a rack that holds about 60 spices. It sure is nice to have the.m on order.My wife has never had a full time job and that's been fine with me. She's the world's best home maker. Everything outside the house is mine and everything inside the house has been hers. She protects our money like a Pitbull. After I retired, I got interested in cooking (thanks YouTube) which made her extremely nervous.
All timber fallers sleep like that.
I woke up at 4 am. I don't know if it will ever go away after doing this for almost 20 years. I spent over an hour in bed to get back to sleep and woke up at 7. Sleep is when the body heals so poor sleep quality is no bueno.
You are doing it right Nontypical. Awesome job on the hunts too ! I'm all jealous and better get ready for next year's hunts.
Exercise and diet advice ? I will give it a try. Reading is always something I've enjoyed !Anybody retired or thinking of retiring I strongly recommend this book. My doctor recommended it to me when I retired. He was 90 years old, still working and in good shape.
"Younger Next Year" is the title. I bought mine on Amazon. I also need to read it again.
I rototilled my garden today after putting a huge pile of chicken poop and compost on it today.
Congrats on your retirement!! Good news is I think you'll find in time that you'll wonder how you ever had enough time to work. That's how it is with me anyway.
Gotta get me a tiller,,,I'm getting too old to keep breaking garden ground with a shovel.
Well I've only been retired a day and already I'm going to have part time job offers in a day or two.
What kind of work did you do, DM?
My wife couldn’t stand me being underfoot all day. She is a barber with her shop beside her house. She begged all her customers to give me a part time job to get me away from the house. I did lots of tractor work. I ended up with a job hauling 40’ shipping containers from the east side of Dallas back to just east of Abilene. Only work 1 or two days a week and that is only when boss needs me and I am not off fishing or hunting somewhere. Extra cash comes in handy when I want a new rod, reel or rifle!
I worked at a Japanese starch plant and a Liquid Air CO2 plant in the 80s, and the Tooele Chemical Weapons Plant for 5 years but since 2005 I have worked at Idaho National Lab working with support equipment ( a nuclear waste storage and disposal facility ). Think Homer Simpson that is Me.
