In reply to the discussion: Thoughts on retiring - update! [View all]mglamb
(6 posts)23. I retired last June and have never looked back.
Go ahead and do it. Before i retired, I was given all these messages about how bored I would be. It's been almost six months and I am loving it. You are fortunate to be able to help out your daughter and still live a good life. I have found that being with the grandkids is priceless. So, do it. You won't look back. And your grandkids will have memories of their time with grandma that will last their lifetimes. Don't listen to the naysayers. Retirement is awesome!!
