Fair enough, but hopefully you can see how some of us might have misunderstood the comment below. Seemed pretty unequivocal, and I can't imagine feeling that strongly on retirement, there are some aspects of work I miss - but not enough to go back.

If asked 'what do I miss about working?'....the only thing would be the paycheck...nothing else - nada, zilch.

Very typical because some will read into a comment what they want to read. No biggie.

You can't imagine feeling strongly about retirement because you're you; and again...we are all unique. No one expects you to feel or think like other people. Am glad for you that you're able to enjoy some of your retirement! -30-
