What is your life like compared to how it was before? I have time to do things that I did not when I was working - golf - yard work - boating - fishing - travel.
What challenges do you face? My wife and my health is pretty good, but there are always issues and they will likely become more challenging with time.
What are the benefits? Having the time to do what you have on YOUR agenda.
If you could change anything, would you? I would have saved more.
Would you still retire at the same point if you could go back and do it again? Probably, though I could have easily worked longer, but I was fed up with the commute.
What advice do you have for younger generations about retirement? Don't waste time worrying about your retirement years .... enjoy every moment. In fact, don't waste time or energy worrying about anything!
Thanks for your help!
