I took early retirement in 2015 from Hasbro at age 61 after 31 years at the company. I think I adjusted ok but in the back of my mind I wondered if I should have worked longer especially when I would meet my old coworkers for lunch. Thirteen months later they asked me to come back to work on a project that was in jeopardy. I really enjoyed my return but retired again a year later this past July at age 63 upon completion of the project, however I could have worked longer.
We closed on our Villages villa on June 30. We still have our house in RI with its acre of landscaping which I maintain while we are up there. I’ve taken up oil painting. Trying to teach the wife how to golf. Walk the dog a couple times a day. We drive between RI and Florida because of the dog. Probably going to split our time 50/50 between both places,
I guess I was finally ready for retirement because the last thing I would want to do now is return to work. The only time I even think of work is when I need to meet an employee at the employee toy store to let me in to buy toys for the grandkids.
