I retired at 60, consulted on my own for five years, and goofed off full time for five years. The 401k sits in an IRA and grows. Retiring is a big step, but looking back, I should have pulled the plug five years earlier. Every day you continue to work is a day you lost to retirement. My calendar since retiring to The Villages has been busier than it was when working. Retirement does not mean the rocking chair, it means living the life that rocks.
