To leave a great job that pays very well while a lot of people can't find a job seems a little crazy to me. I hope I'm doing the right thing. I'm only 57 but have saved well over the years. My 89 year old Mom lives alone in my childhood home and is having trouble negotiating stairs so she'll be moving to TV with us.
A lot of mixed feelings today, I hope it all works out........
WE were scared to death when my wife and I retired on the same day. With her pension and my social secutiry, our salaries will now be 30% of what they were. OUCH! My wife burnt our a calculater as she kept crunching the numbers. To worry about the decrease in earnings, is normal, but HEY! You've been busting your (you know what) your whole life. It is time for you. Don't worry, be happy.
