[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 647090, member: 10234"] I retired 1-1/2 years ago with 25 years of service. I am now 57. I actually had to go on a disability retirement as the job (and a personal bad habit) finally did me in. With the dis. retirement and SS I actually am doing better than a regular 25 yr pension. I thought that I would probably die behind the wheel and the thought of the loss of money (working vs. retirement) was definitely a concern. Boy, was I wrong. I will say that I have never been happier to have left it all behind. It did help that (when I retired) I was able to cash in my stock ($70+/share at the time) and pay my house off. I was also able to go on my wifes insurance. With that and Medicare I'm in pretty good shape insurance wise. It's true that I can't do some of the things that I'd like, but overall I have enjoyed my time. Especially when the alternative was to work until I dropped. Retirement can be a scary thing, but you might be surprised at just how easy the transition can be. Even without the ultimate plan in place. After all, you can't put a price on peace of mind.
