I too left Verizon in August 2010 after 30 years. I was only 52. It's hard at first, because my routine of getting up at 5am, getting home at 4pm, and doing a job I really did enjoy was gone. My wife kept emphasizing, be thankful for your health and being able to retire. So many people never do. She kept telling me, as others on this forum, Don't trade your time for money. We only have so much time, and when it is gone, it's gone. Enjoy each other, friends, and the time we have left.
