I was in the same boat as you. I spent 30 years at the same company and I hated the last 10 years. The money/benefits were good. I knew I could retire at 55. That day came Friday March 13 2015. I never married and have no children.
I have a defined pension plus I still have benefits until I'm 65. I also put money away in RRSP'S and I have a good financial adviser.
Since retiring I've done a little travelling. My g/f is retiring next year. I started running a couple of years ago. I run 3 days a week to stay healthy.
It sounds like you're financially sound, there's no reason why you should keep working especially since you said you hate your job.
There are a couple of guys where I was working that could have retired a few years ago and they're still there. I just don't get it. My old company employed thousands, I was just a number.
One thing I'd like to add. I was at a visitation for a former manager yesterday who was diagnosed with cancer 6 months after retiring.
Enjoy the second half of your life. There's life after work.
Plus every day is Saturday.
