I'm retiring in two months. Here's some of the things going through my mind.
One of the things I'm worried about is outliving our money.
Retirement is like a long vacation in Las Vegas. The goal is to enjoy it the fullest, but not so fully that you run out of money. - Jonathan Clements
My wife has two concerns. One is the same as mine - running out of money. The other is what to do with me when I'm underfoot full time.
When a man retires, his wife gets twice the husband but only half the income. - Chi Chi Rodriguez
A retired husband is often a wife's full-time job. - Ella Harris
Professionally speaking, I have a few thoughts about retiring.
It is time I stepped aside for a less experienced and less able man. - Scott Elledge
Old professors never die. They just grade away.
I used to teach. Now I have no class.
Here's the last word.
Retirement is wonderful. It's doing nothing without worrying about getting caught at it. - Gene Perret
All good points... Good friend retired, 6 months later the wife told him to go find a job, he was driving her NUTS!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, we've already had that talk. She has a list of projects for me to do - most of them outside...
