Default 60 the new 40

I hope so, I just turn 40 again lol. Not sure I'm ready for being 60, but it's here whether I want it to be or not. I have admitted being a grandpa is fun.

Retired at 60...turned 63 last October. I'm having a blast!!!!
Traveling, house projects, playing with Chevelles, family time (including 5 grandkids). Working down my Bucket List.

It can't possibly get any better than this.
If I'd known it was this much fun, I'd have turned 60 years ago.

I will turn 60 in June and it will be the hardest one yet, I don't feel it till I look in the mirror and see the old guy..lol. I will make the best of it for sure and I agree that 60 is the new 40.

I've been off for 2 1/2 weeks now and I'm starting to think that this ain't too bad but I will have to winter someplace else than Michigan. Did start looking at houses in Arizonia last week so the count down has started.

Personally, where I live really doesn't matter too much although I'd never move back up North (originally from Buffalo, NY ).
Home base here in GA has it's pros & cons...but we are fortunate enough to be able to travel.
We were gone for a total of 10 weeks so far this year (visited 12 countries) and heading to FL on Sunday.
