Today was my last day of gainful employment - I am now fully retired and will subsist on no more than savings and the State Pension!



I will have lots of time to enjoy myself and get things done that I have only dreamed about .. as long as the body and bank account hold out :)
I have lots of plans but have to start sorting out the details :) Planning in detail starts tomorrow!
 
Happy retirement John...personally I'm looking forward to many posts about your various projects

Welcome to the next step.

The “suddenly remembering that you should have done something at work” wears off pretty quickly.
 
You'll need to learn how to say no!
I found that the months after I finished being gainfully employed were busier than ever; everyone assumed I now had plenty of spare time and I never did get round to doing what I had planned.
Thankfully, now folk assume that I'm too old to do anything. Still end up feeding neighbour's chickens and watering their seedlings while they're off adventuring, but they know how fit I really am. I don't begrudge them through; they are only in their 70s and have taken my advice to do things while they are still fit.
I doubt if you'll be idle and look forward to some interesting posts in the future.
 
Congrats from me. Life very soon takes over any kind of ‘spare time’ and fills it up, so make sure that you’re doing things that you always wanted to. Life also doesn’t need to be too expensive if you cover the important things, but give yourself a little treat every now and then!

Health to enjoy as some say :)
 
Some lovely thoughts there folks - and I refuse to allow my plans to be thwarted!
"I don't want to
I do not have to
You can't make me
I AM Retired"
is my new mantra - and I may even buy the T-shirt I saw it printed on!
