Congratulations!

I hope when my time comes that I'm half as well prepared as you are.

Congratulations and leave the door open a crack.
I plan to squeeze out next year.
Been working since age 12, so I think it's time.

Best of luck!

All of us regulars are familiar with your work Mathjak and you have helped many of us. Congrats on reaching your goal.

Congratulations! Some people have a very easy transition to retirement, others have to be dragged kicking and screaming even when well prepared. My husband and I belong to the former category. Both of us are loving the scaled back, more low key lifestyle.
