Thanks a bunch!

[I]Are you newly retired or have you been for over 10 years?[6 months]

[I]What is your life like compared to how it was before?[Believe it or not I'm busier now but having more fun]

[I]What challenges do you face?[#6 on Pelican ]

[I]What are the benefits?[spending more time with my wife and taking care of my Mom]

[I]If you could change anything, would you?[Everything I've done has led me here so the answer is no]

[I]Would you still retire at the same point if you could go back and do it again? [I retired two years early to care for my Mom so I guess yes.]

[I]What advice do you have for younger generations about retirement?[Holy crap! I feel so sad for the next generation. There's way to many ways to lose your money these days. I guess I would say find a planner you can trust]

Thanks for your help!
