My dad retired when he was 48, (78 now) and was pestering me from the day I turned 40 as to what my plan was as to when I was going to retire-"...and you better not tell me you're waiting until you're 65", he said! Congrats man, get out there and have a blast!
I retired at 50 as well, 2 months into it, so far, happy as hell, hated my job for last ten years. My father retired at 50 due to heart attack, social security provided after that. I will not follow his foot-steps to heart attack. Comfortable with pension,
but life changes made it easier, am very busy with my woman and her honey-do lists. I am fortunate to have lifetime medical covered at set premium.
