I had worked for 31 years at Verizon. The company and the BS really started to get on my nerves. Well they came out with an incentive for us to leave. My wife and I went and listened. Wow what a deal. The next morning I walked up to my boss and said you need to sign these I'm retiring. He was pleased as was I . Dec.29, 2001 was my last day,I had just turned 53. I stayed unemployed for 2 years and finally went to work for a contractor friend. We had started looking fo retirement areas and kept coming back to TV. My wife told me she was retiring 8/2009. We came down in June 09, picked out a lot and house in Bonita. She and I both stopped working in Aug. 2009 and closed on our house Sept.10,2009. Haven't looked back, haven't regreted leaving work one little bit. As for the paycheck I get my pension, she gets hers and Feb.2011 is my 1st Social Security check. So go ahead and do it life is great after retiremnt. You won't regret it.Life in TV has far exceded our expectations. This is truly paridise and was worth working for.
