Congrats! To celebrate my retirement (5 years ago), I threw away my alarm clock. Whatever I have to do (appointments, running errands for shut-ins, etc) is done in the late mornings afternoons.

Congratulations! One of the best things about retirement is the freedom it gives you. You can do, or not do, anything you want whenever you want now. It's really amazing and much better than I anticipated. I hope you kick back and enjoy it.

Good for you. Lucky to retire early. I pulled the plug at 63 and have now been retired for 6 years. Moved all the way across country to live where I'm at now.

Thanks for everyone's guidance along the way and I will keep you posted!
Congratulations!
