- Retiring -

After 39 years and 7 months I will be separating from General Motors. They offered a “package” and I took it.

Last day in the office was February 7th; there will be a period of transition and then I will morph into retirement after that.

I’ll need to find something to do in order to keep the lights on at home but haven’t picked a new direction yet.

Re: - Retiring -

Congrats, Keith! I've been retired for a couple of years now,...I hope you find it as fantastic as I do!
YES, you will need hobbies, classes, volunteering, or self employment to keep busy!! It's your choice,...that's what's GREAT!
Now you'll have more time for the forum!
Hope all goes well, and keep posting here,
Todd Compton.

Re: - Retiring -

I've thought about this and still can't find the words.

But, there is always a need for skilled people. And if you get really bored I've got these old trucks that need love.... and rocker panels.

It seems to me that the young folk these days are always looking for something else to do and never stay too long!! I for one love my job and when I turn 60 I'll have 39 years 8 months at the same job!! Like I said I love my job!!!

Congrats Keith,
I retired at 59 (unwillingly mind you) but after a bit I am now very pleased. Don't know how I had time to work. Everyday is a Saturday. I am certain you will find something to keep you occupied.
Cheers

Re: - Retiring -

Congratulations Keith! Retirement is a great (although I unretired for the last 4 years part time as a Town Supervisor). You will soon feel like you don't know how you got everything done when you worked full time. Have fun and enjoy life.

I second this!

I hope the "package" was good and will allow you some time to figure out what your next direction will be.
