Nice Firestar... I had an Ultrastar years ago.

Its not whining, its fact. Not all managers are good managers. That's why I happy to now be self employed for the last 10 years.

I hope you are a good manager of yourself

Not all managers are bad managers.

Didnt say they were. Don't get a complex.

I have no complex. Far too old and laid back for that. I simply made a statement. You had done the same.

I'm still a couple years away from retirement, but what I expect to like best is not having to delay/reschedule personal chores and projects because I have to get on an airplane and spend a few days away from shop, land, and family.

Being liberated from airplanes and airports is wonderful. In 4 years of retirement I got on an airplane once.

OP here....one of the things I enjoy most is being able to make obnoxious, opinionated posts here on TBN and tick others off....

That's not very nice. You need to go back to charm school. I wonder if they still have those? My sister went back in the late 60's. Didn't work for her. Probably won't work for Mr. MeanGreen227

I retired from the Army in 1994 after 26 years of service. Now working on finalizing my second career/second retirement. 5 years ago I took a position with the company where I work from home 100%, no travel, only conference calls and email to deal with. Money is outstanding, business casual has taken on new meaning, stress level is very low and really only fully engaged about 4 hours a day. Planning to work 2 or maybe 3 more years if health continue to be good and job does not change. Purchased land two years ago and now working on finalizing plans for a new home on that property to be completed early next spring. Will have two retirements, SS and savings to support us, so we should be fine since we don't owe anything now except a very small monthly land payment. Even with all of the freedom I have still working, can't wait until I do not have thoughts of a job on my mind when I wake up each day.

I have a small hobby farm now, completing my woodworking shop this fall, love to garden and sell my produce, growing and selling hay and want to learn to weld very soon. So, I think I will have plenty to do to hopefully keep my mind and body busy which might help me to live a little longer because when I am doing those things I am smiling ear to ear. 63 now and do not want to work beyond 66.

Great contributions from many on this topic, glad to see so many are happy and very much enjoying their journey down the other side of the hill they spent much of their lives climbing. It should be easier to walk down than up and I hope and pray it is for all of us.
