She said the time between 50 and 70 does seem like about 20 years, but the time between 70 and 90 seemed more like about 2. Anyway, welcome to retirement (soon). I have never once regretted it.

What's that? When you have two cats who play double team on you some time between 4 and 5 am, then all you can do is appreciate the fact that as nocturnal animals they like afternoon naps as much as you do. 😻😻🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then I've done many projects around the house that I wouldn't have dreamed of because...I didn't have the time. Again, congrats!

And congrats to you to Orion. I retired at age 61 and have never regretted it for one day. I had invested in as many IRAs and other things like IRAs in addition to getting a real retirement from the old VA system which is better than the new one by far. Did the same with my wife's retirement. Sacrifices of unneeded high end items during work days allowed us to pay off a house and contribute to IRAs, etc. Why buy a Mercedes when a Mazda or a Subaru gets you there and back for half the cost? Now if I could just convince her that the Mazda Miata has the highest safety and reliability ratings of any car made, retirement could be even more fun. I gave up the Honda VFR 800. Safety belts don't work well on those. But it sure got great gas mileage on my 90 mile roundtrip trek to work and back my last 8 years. I have a whole story on my triple driving violation ride one day that the trooper just gave me a warning ticket for. I think he was surprised when I told him I was definitely guilty of all three with a smile on my face. His closing comment as he gave me the break was, "Do you always drive that thing like that?" LOL! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a pro skydiver capable of standing on my head going 200 mph plus to swoop in on linked up group below me and flaring out perfectly slowing to around 120 mph to join in the circle. Now that I could do. Driving a car that way-no way Jose. Unless you count taking my Honda cycle up through the twisties of the mountains of Colorado. That I could do very, very well without skydiving over the side even though I swear that thing was so fast I believe it could fly too. LOL!
