I retired at age 60 and never looked back. LIFE IS GOOD. I play golf and practice my guitar every day. I teach 5 or 6 CPR/First Aid classes a month to support my golf/travel/musical equipment addiction. Money is no longer an issue. I am fortunate to have made many lifelong friendships over the years and those friendships have made my retirement even more enjoyable. How you treat people now will become apparent when you retire. I know more than a few who have retired friendless, some deservedly so, and that, my friend, is not a good place to be.
