I was 60. Retirement is wonderful. It’s only boring if you don’t have a life.

Yeah, I’m waiting on my dog to pass and then I’m gonna wander the world for half a decade or so.

I was 65, had to wait until I could get Medicare. But you are right, it IS wonderful, and I feel lucky that I was smart enough to save as much as I could over the years, as it helps make retirement (so far) to be less stressful.

My experience, too. Retired at 62, 64 1/2 now. Retirement has been a true blessing. Never bored because there is always something to do.

“It’s only boring if you don’t have a life.”

You can say that again. I wonder how I ever had time to work.

Truth! I retired at 59, moved to a rural area, and I am ❤ ❤ ❤ it!! Living simply and still don’t have time enough to pursue everything that interests me.

There’s no boring retirement...just boring people!

Spot on! It’s only boring if you don’t have a life.

Everyone is alive but few people really live! Have a plan and really live.
