Well I took an early retiremnt 3 yrs prior as I wanted to be ‘free’ of an 8-10 hour day or more to have charge of what I do with my time...and I’ve never regretted it for even a second.

Unfortunately Congress will never vote for term limits....for obvious reasons. Once in it’s all about power, connections, wealth and protection. Their perks are enormous!

I had high blood pressure, fainting spells at work, and border line diabetic, so retired early at age 57. Took up playing golf 5 times every week, and now at at age 79 in better shape physically than at age 57. I consider myself very lucky to be able to join a private golf club with unlimited playing privileges with a fixed monthly fee. Quit the club 3 years ago due to moving to Florida, so no more golfing but doing the Gym routine now.

Term limits for Congress has to be a Constitutional Amendment - otherwise you are adding to the qualifications list stated in the Constitution.

And yeah, not enough are going to vote for that.
