I started collecting Dec 1st of last year...life after work is... different. I would compare it to leaving the big city for the country.
Enjoy

Don't stress out!! Now, no one will be telling ya what to do. You'll have to make your own decisions now;-) Congrats on making it!!!!!!

 

[drlapo]

"don't stress out"!!
my employer is getting their money's worth out of me now. I'm trying to close and settle as many cases as I can before leaving so its "push, push, push" (and not in a good way)
HEY! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel

I sure hope there is some Social Security left, I start drawing in exactly 2 years.

 

[drlapo]

I hear you.
the gubment never expected so many of us to live past 60
we used to die at 50 from TB or an industrial accident
