My Final Retirement

[mcalva]

Congratulations! Do not take it as the rest of your life, live it as always, day by day, enjoying and forgetting the obvious and writing many more chapters.
It is not about writing "the end" and then filling in. It's about continuing to write and forget that the "end-point" will ever be written.
:cheers:

Congrats AK, it’s a change compared to what you are used to but you’ll find other great things to do with your time!

Congrats and wish you the best. I do not consider it the final or closing chapter, I consider it the best !

I teach at a local college also and plan to retire in September. The cool thing about it, is my daughter just started working in the same department that I am leaving. It's like passing the torch.

One of our coworkers joked with me asking how did "Take your daughter to work-day" feel, EVERY DAY?:clap::clap::clap:

The biggest problem with being retired, the way I see it, is that there just ain't enough time to do what my new boss wants me to accomplish. BTW, my new boss is ME!

Final Retirement

Congratulations, I myself pulled the plug and rolled up my cords in February and am really enjoying my retirement. I loved my work but the stress and changes in the working trade class was taking all the fun out of the job and I found myself not enjoying it as I used to. Like you said I miss the money as my job as a construction superintendent was finally paying really well, but money is not everything and I still am fairly healthy. Hope your new chapter in life works out well.

You have been solid as a rock on this forum all the time I have been here. I'm certain you were solid as a rock as an Adjunct Professor as well.

All the best to you and enjoy yourself!!!

If you really do make the move south, I wish you all the best.

Update three months later.

All is going well. The house selling in three days, the "forced" retirement from teaching, everything else falling into place...looks like it was meant to be.

No remorse or sadness about retirement from teaching between MN, WI, and AK...I was able to do what I liked for around 25 years...that was a career in itself.

We are truly loving our acre in the country and enjoy everyday that comes along. Now, if the household goods and the Spyders would get here, we would be very happy.
