What does "retirement" mean?

It means you get to do all the work at home and not get paid. Lol

I'm 50 years olds, no grand kids yet, but friends and fine wine sounds great.

It's great that you're able to retire so early.

Enjoy yourself, and do something meaningful that you never had time for.

You mean going to work for my wife full time????? No thank you!

I'm retiring on June 15th. Got me to thinking, how many are you Zoners retired and what the hell do you do all day?

Going in 2 years or so.
Lots of outside of work things to do.

Stay fit, travel, Zone it, computer games, new home, golf......

Endless.....

Looking forward to it. Only 40 or so more years to go! Cheers.

Its my first year of not holding a real job...(retirement) and frankly its been a struggle. Have stayed busy...but its not the same. In fact, l may just go back and work some more...thats still an option.

Part time is good. Fit in other things....

Maybe go the Rolando route - fishing. Without the weed.

Add the weed just not the cough syrup

What does "retirement" mean?

Something to be said about that, i.e. not ever using the word or "practicing" what the word means/implies.

To take my life experience... Years of hard work... $ investment... Building up a list of resources... Suffering through failure after failure– each teaching me valuable lessons, which I ultimately put to good use.

And toss all that away so I can sit on my couch and watch 3 seasons of "Game of Thrones" over a 48 hour period?

No freaking way.

Yeah, it's tough to stay active and keep the brain going to.

That's why you hang out at Trouty's Pub.
Oh...wait

 

[DFWJC]

I won't be retiring anytime soon with a 14 and 9 year old.

seriously, this is the 2017 and 50 is the new 30 (i hope).
i was forced to retire in 2017 from an accident, at least temporarily.
after working 80 hour weeks for decades, i hope to travel the world next year (well parts of the world anyway) may be for a few years.

personally a big fan of cruises, and looking to live half time in asia/europe (winter, spring), summer in the north america and the rest on the boat.
while i never worked for the cruise industry, cruising has its advantages for those dont get seasick.
for example, there are boats going to asia in september and returning from asia in april for very reasonable prices.
that includes no jet lag, lodging and food and getting port-of-call previews of different port cities.
if i like asia enough, i may start a business there but would likely not work full-time again.
half-time is not bad.
here is an example of a ~15 day itinerary, with prices for one-way for 2 starts ta about $2500
fishing at the kodiak islands is supposed to be amazing...

One of my former assistant coaches is retired, he and his wife go on about 10 cruises a year. He waits til the last minute and pays about 100 buck each, when they are trying to fill the ship. He buys his tickets on vacationstogo.com or something like that.
