Today is my last day, I am doing no work. Playing Farmville drinking coffee. Maybe I will ask to leave early since I am salaried and already got my final paycheck. I was thinking of leaving early but they gave me a beautiful card everyone wrote nice things in and $750 of gift cards. So maybe I should stay and move the mouse around pretending to work. Never mind I don't even pretend to work. I tell them I am not working. The stock market is up today but I don't know how much my profit sharing and final 401K ROTH are. I might hit 935K in savings this week. I hope it was enough because I am done working for money.  |

My Dh retired 18 years ago at the age of 51.....he's never looked back!!!! Never been bored, never thought he shouldn't have retired that early, absolutely NEVER thought he should go back to work.
Congrats Crone!!!! Time to go have some fun.

Congratulations! I remember how thrilled I was when I walked out of this place 11 years ago to be a SAHM for awhile. I can't imagine how great it will feel to walk out the door for good!

If you get bored you could always search co-workers and other people's backgrounds/criminal records on-line and look busy too!  Congratulations!! May you enjoy not working as much as I do! I've been "retired" since I was 39. So that would be about, ohhhhhh, 10 years now.  |

You are right my expertise is an asset. I explained to my boss how to do petty cash, postage and profit sharing today and the receptionist more info on ordering office supplies.
I found my final paystub and made a copy I earned 25,928.24 this year but 17,681.99 went to ROTH 401K so I did get much after taxes. I get profit sharing next week should be a little over 9K so still not bad for pretending to work.
As soon as profit sharing post I will roll out all my money to IRA or ROTH IRA.

I highly recommend retirement. You can do whatever you want, and if you don't feel like doing anything, you can do nothing.

Congrats! I've always followed your posts and admire all you've accomplished!
I wasn't sure whether to bring this up, but since a reference to another thread was already made I'll just say that the reason my DH was able to retire when he turned 50 is because we never bought the new, big house on the golf course DH originally wanted. I was always (and still am) happy where we're at: in a nice, remodeled home that cost us MUCH less than we could afford, so I drug my feet and said, no, let's just stay where we're at. Then DHs job became unbearable and he figured out he was able to retire and he says every day that he never would have been able to had we bought a larger house. Well worth it to both of us!
