[QUOTE="The Milkman, post: 647140, member: 22760"] I retired Jan 2008 and love it..I value my time here on earth over any amount of money.. You get sick then what good is all the money or so called security going to do you?? Think of the homeless and people that do not even get pensions yet they survive.The question is depends on how you tend to live.. I am living it up best as I can now because someday someone will be (if I live long enough) will be changing my diapers and feeding me.. Take advantage of time..You only go around once. I have friends that are alot better off than me and are nervous to retire..If I can wing it I tell them they can also.. You can't take it with you.. Again think about this..You work another 5-10 years then you retire..The next month you are told you have cancer and will live 6 months.....You will then say to yourself...I should have hung it up while I was healthier..You can not go back at that time and all the so called security you worked for your whole life goes down the tubes as you suffer and kick yourself in the butt. I feel blessed that I am able to relax and do not need an alarm clock anymore and do not have to deal with all the stress.. Why people work when they can retire??? I do not know.. All I know is someday someone will say to you is "I told You so".. If you are 55 and live to 80...You only have 300 more months on this earth...They go by fast...Scary Huh ?? blink of an eye..How many months do you want to enjoy before you say goodbye??? That is the question.. Good Luck but I do not regret hanging it up at 55 with 25 as a friend/T...:happy2: [/QUOTE]
