Well I did it!

Congrats Hank.
I'm jealous....just turned 59 last month and my employer was offering a decent early retirement package a few months ago.
I was SO tempted to take that...my wife, being just slightly younger than me but without an incentive package offer from her employer, shot that down ...for now.
Ain't no way in hell I'm going to retire only to take another job. Having to work for a living again would suck bigtime.
I hope you enjoy a long, fullfilling retirement!!

I didn't quit work, I was laid off back in March. We'll try retirement, if it works out, good. If not a part time job is okay but I'm not going back full time doing what I was doing before. So it's not like I'm retiring to take another job.
