Well not really...as I have said before...I'm not a genius. HOWEVER, if I had it to do over again I would have left when I was 49. I had 30 years accredited service when I was 49 years old. Make no mistake... retirement is the biggest decision one may make in their lifetime. Where I worked the door only swung one way. Hence you better have your mind made up and $ducks$ lined up. No regrets here, since retiring I have not hit a lick,nor been bored a second... just living the dream. Also... a man can only stuff so much money In that old mattress. HAW!

We had one Millwright work 59 years and he was a model employee. When he told me he was leaving I said, "Don, why don't you stay another year and make it an even 60 years." He replied, "Oh no Randy... that is just entirely to long to be working."

LOL. I am afraid that is going to be me, too.

Shucks... nothing wrong with that. Work is honorable, retirement can be also.

Did you know Antonio Stradivari was making his famous Stradivarius Violins in Cremona Italy until he was 95 (croaked)? If a guy wants to "fiddle around" go for it.
