I have retired three times. This is not a joke. The first time I ran into a woman I had dated in high school in the pro shop of my country club. She told me I was to young too retire. The pro, a guy I knew from high school was setting me up with 75 year olds on Wednesday mornings for foursomes. I was 35 and realized I was on a work break. I went back to work, retiring again in 1988 at age 46. Then, I had a great opportunity in 1990 and moved to SoCal for a great job. I eventually retired in 1994 at age 52 and never looked back. It just takes some adjustment. The reason I worked was so I could retire young and beat "the system". I could hardly wait to put on a boiler suit, jump in the motorhome and hit the road, which I did for a while.
