ARG, is it time to get up already?  ;D 

I love the feeling right now sitting here with my first cup of coffee, retired.

Thanks everyone. No secret, the company I worked for is downsizing, and they made an offer to people 50 and older. They gave us 5 years added to our age and years of service, that gave me an age of 55 and 37 years service, only need 35 years service to get full retirement. SO I TOOK IT.

I'll be doing something shortly, can't stop at my age.

Thanks, that's right about getting dumped, it had a lot to do with making my decision. I have family and some good friends, some right here on this site, that had just that happen. I smelled a rat, so I got while the going was good.

if the cost of everything keeps going up there won't be retirement for some of us. i still have about 20 more years to go.but i work for myself so all i need is to find a few good workers and then i can think about retirement.
