[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 1073667, member: 7966"] 1) Thanks. 2) I don't disagree with that and I probably over did it as related to myself. I personally know 2 people that did not have a plan and when they retired they eventually went into depression. One died of a heart attack after 2 1/2 years and another is a mental wreck - obsesses on everything. He is doing better though and getting out more. I started "interviewing" retirees about 9 years ago. About half said they retired at the right time and about half said they wished they had worked longer. Except for 3 of about 25-30, they all went back to work within 2 years or did charity work because they needed something to do and a purpose. [I]Note: These were all men so I don't have any advice for women.[/I] I was "afraid" that if I did not have something planned to do, I would sit around and watch TV and post on Brown Cafe and Facebook.
