We retired less than a month ago so we are just getting into the swing of things. For the first two weeks we felt more like we were on vacation and still had to go back to the grind at any time. Neither of us really miss the work because we have more than enough to do now with the house and play time. We don't really miss friends and family, we keep in touch by cell phone on a regular basis.
The house? Oh yeah, we like it better now than when we picked it out. Great house, good neighbors.
Even though I worked for years on our retirement plans the lack of a regular paycheck has at times played on my mind especially with all the one time expenses that come from moving. But, I keep checking the figures and the computer still says we are ok. I guess it is just being human.
