If you've never done it before, I can tell you that #4 is rewarding in ways you won't fully get until after you've done it.
Not a sudden decision...been planning it for a while. Job became toxic with new mgmt. I told them in May I was out, they asked me to stay, I stayed to ensure my team was in a good place, and in the meantime got another new boss (who wasn't told I was out - just another indicator of their complete lack of respect).Is this a sudden decision (I note you were (are?) On vacation recently)? Or was it in the works for a while? Either way... congratulations!
This isn't cheap...but its baked into the financial plan.
Yeah, I've done it often, and have organized my office to participate too. I love learning from it while giving back too. Its just like boat repair....seems like you need a mechanic from the outside, but once you know how it works....its relatively easy - and learning the "tricks" and know how makes it even easier!
It's never too early to start your countdown. If you have a countdown, you probably have a plan. And if you have a plan, you have a better chance of making it a reality. My countdown is at 97 days.
Congratulations!
It’s never silly to have a plan. But it’s way too early to start the “countdown”. Life goes way too fast, even without wishing each day away. Have a plan, find something you like doing and enjoy life.
I'm 57. If my new boss wasn't so toxic I would probably have worked another year or so, but I decided enough was enough.
I was eligible for retirement at 56, but it would have been a reduced annuity, so I planned on working until I turned 62. That was in January, and as we were moving into a new home, I didn't retire until the end of August. I believe that one should retire when they can comfortably do so.
