Retirement is Official!

[Janderso]

Today I turn 65.
The Social Security check arrives the second Wednesday of every month. Next Wednesday is my first check!!!!
I went to the doctor last Thursday.
My copay was zero.
My son coaches basketball for his 7-8 school. My wife and I got the senior discount.
This is great!
I’m really settling in to this new life Style
Should have turned 65 years ago!

I should add, today we left home for a week of fun to enjoy this beautiful California weather. 71 degrees today.
We left on a Sunday and we return on Saturday. A working man doesn’t keep this schedule.
I know, I shouldn’t rub it in. Hey, I worked full time for 50 years!

I've been retired 2 1/2 years. It's a good gig! Welcome to the club.

When people ask me 'How do you like the retired life?", I respond thusly-

"I don't know HOW it could be any better".

Glad you're making the most of it!

Thank you!
I wanted to join the club earlier but my financial guy wasn’t going for it. We’re good now.

LOL.
Great line!

No issue here, you did your time, you have earned this!
You definitely deserve many, many fun years with spouse, kids, grand-kids, great-grand-kids, .......etc.....
Not to mention new projects, mistakes, machines, screw-ups, new tools, errors, and more fun..... and don't forget the fun!
