Somebody always has a 'better idea'. Ugh!
Time to retire, working tomorrow and Friday. Fun!

Ikr?

As I’m coming up on my one year anniversary, I highly recommend retirement at the earliest possible opportunity!

I retired five years ago, and work very part time, filling in, because I enjoy it. Most of the time. Must keep moving!

I think Mary meant retire to bed

Of course "earliest opportunity" goes well with "early to be, early to rise ..."

Probably true and a connotation I obviously missed. I’m going to blame it on “retirement brain” and continue to advocate for retiring (from the rat race) at one’s first opportunity.

I don't disagree MTKitty! I find retirement much less stressful than working.

I don’t know where I ever found the time to go to work!

I found my fingernails stuck out past the tip of my fingers after I retired

I'm 65 but my daughter just started college.
My retirement plans include a pine box.

Hang in there! She’ll be through before you know it!

I've always been a bit of an outlier. My Counseling mentor is in his mid 70's, became a counselor at 40 and I plan to follow in his footsteps. I'm 54 and got my Masters in 2018. But counseling doesn't (usually) feel like work. As long as you can sit, listen attentively and provide good care you can be a counselor forever. Doesn't mean I'm going to work 80 hours. But I would go crazy without something to do.
