I retired two weeks ago! Hard to believe that I worked 42 years as an Environmental Scientist, but sure cleaned up a hell of a lot of multi million dollar Superfund sites! I retire pleased with a great career and personal accomplishment. All my retired friends said that the first thing you experience when you retire is loosing track of the days. Imagine that! Waking up each morning asking yourself what day it is? Next, is knowing you do not have to work for a living anymore because your retirement checks come in and the stress of making money, which can be major, no longer becomes a concern.
So now what? Everyone asks, "what's your plan"? Do you really need a plan? I guess if your going to travel the USA by RV or cruise the "Great Loop" by boat, a plan is needed, but for now, the COVID is keeping us from traveling and getting out more. Its even tough to be with the grandkids.
So, we (my wife and I) are locked down for now waiting for this pandemic to settle down. I can go up to my sailboat on the lake and drive my 911T, but the real adventures and travel are on hold. At least for now, I can sleep late, hang out and keep myself busy around the house. With that, despite the COVID, I would say I am just fine with retirement.
