I love retirement. Go to bed at 11, wake up at 5:30 and then have fun all day long.

Steve, my retirement plans have been to restore 911s and coach crew for about 30 years now. I’m doing just that exceptnrowing instead of coaching. Retirement where you don’t do anything is entirely foreign to me. Doing what you are passionate about on your own terms is what I call retirement. also working on a 4.0L MFI motor and proper flares (Singer has terrible flares) for my own reimagined line of cars. That’s retirement!

I retired in 2015 @55 yrs. old. I used to get up at 6 every day.
If I do a DE I have to be on the road by 6 AM. It kills me getting up that early now. I set my alarm for 8 tomorrow, I'm taking my neighbor to physio. Then I'll go for a run.

We have changed our life pattern in the last month, we booked a trip to St. Lucia in July to celebrate out 30th anny early, we are in rooms that are basically outside and have no TV's so in preparation for the trip we are going to bed from 10-11 pm with no TV or electronics.
We used ot watch TV to go to sleep, the best thing we ever did was eliminate that. In many ways more than sleep.  Even on vacation or when work is demanding, like tonight, where I may be lucky to be in bed at 12 midnight (punishment for a long weekend in the smokies) I will always wake up at 6 am. I require no sleep and always have been this way, I am forcing myself to get 7-8 hours sleep because I know it is good for me, I prefer 5-6 hours, I feel more alert and better at 5-6. 7-8 makes me too relaxed and not on edge. Hard to explain. I see me owning the operating this business for another 20 years, I hope in 10 to only work 20 hours a week and take a lot of vacations. Hell, I hope to be doing that in 5 years. I honestly can take off anytime I want and work whatever hours I want. As long as the economy is strong I will work a lot and grab all I can so I can play a lot when it crashes. As I did from 2008 to 2016 I played a lot and worked out a lot. Is it wrong to hope for another slow down?
