What an interesting thread. I don't think I'll ever really retire. I have a small business that is pretty portable...I do some work on the Internet so as long as I can have an Internet connection I'll be able to do my thing no matter where I am. I can't imagine not doing anything for years on end. I like to keep busy and keep my mind active. I'm fortunate because with what I do I can work when I want and where I want so I can always take time off if I want to.
I really feel for those ladies who are working in jobs they don't like. I've been there and it's no fun. Hope all of you feeling that way can find a way to move on to something you enjoy more.

Returning to this tread... retire whilst I no longer do paid work my life is full and like many of those here who also no longer have an employer we wonder where we had time to work.

I retired in June of 2008 at age 55. I had taught school for 33 years. I miss the kids but I love retirement. I've always wanted to be a stay-at-home wife and mother, and now I can be - even though my boys don't live at home anymore. I'm still here whenever they need me, and we can have late night phone conversations.

maggie2, I tend to think along your lines. Actually I was always looking forward to retirement, but after a sick week,...which bored me to death...uh uh...don't think I'm ready yet. I need to keep my mind active as well.
