I can't believe how old this post is. I retired at 60 last June after working for a printing dead line 32 years and always on call. After 6 months retired I was going nuts and rebuilt my motor a second time, and my original 2.7 base motor. I am currently working at a Ski and summer resort as a electrician 4 days a week, enough to keep sane and still have free time I never had before.

Now I manage our gulf front vacation properties....ie. I clean toilets (just like my first job at 15!).
Retirement does not suck.
