[QUOTE="BrewCrew, post: 277949, member: 3804"] This is one of the all time great threads - thanks to all for the insight and honest sharing. I retired at the ripe age of 40 in 2001. The divorce hit in 2002 and I realized all my hunting/fishing buddies still had to work and raise their kids - got bored and went back to work. Stil am at the age of 58. Remarried a few years ago and we are set for me to retire in 4 years. My wife is a federal employee with great benefits that will follow us when she retires in 8 or so years (she's younger than me). I have had many friends wait to 65-67 even 70 to retire. The majority are physically incapable to enjoy it or have lost their partner and are now alone in their final chapters. My dad's advice was enjoy what you do for a living and balance it so you can enjoy life along the way. We don't scrimp and we make it a goal to have fun and stay in the day - you never know what happens tomorrow. The only for sure is He sent his only Son to die for me....the ultimate sacrifice of a Father. I am going to enjoy my time here and honor His word as best I can.......
