Did anyone else have a "fuck it, I'm retiring" moment?

I'm in my late 50s, mortgage paid off, have worked since the age of 18. I'm so close to jacking my job my job in .

🥳🥳🥳

Congratulations @Alphabet1spaghetti2 it's the BEST thing

@Alphabet1spaghetti2 Congratulations 🎉

It’s my first day and it feels ever so slightly surreal. Half expect to get a phone call from work asking were I am!
I have such a peaceful feeling knowing I’m truly now only answerable to myself. I no longer ‘have to do xyz or conform’
Thank you for all your congrats and best wishes. I honestly if thought this day would never come!

Congratulations. It is a bit odd at first,as it just kind of feels like you are on annual leave. But then you start to relax,
It's the simple stuff I appreciate like staying up late and not worrying about not getting enough sleep before work.the freedom to be as busy or as quiet as you like. Getting to dictate what I do with my time is priceless

Almost! I’m 57 and would like to work less but my role won’t allow it. I can afford to retire but if I wait 3 more years my pension pot is worth soooo much more so I’m going to stick it out!

Im 61, dropped to part time when I turned 60 and took my NHS pension. Planning to stop completely April 28, and use savings to bridge the gap till 67 when state pension starts. Wish I could go in April next year but still have kids at Uni, so financially not really possible. Can't wait for the day I can hand over and begin the next stage !

@reesewithoutaspoon today I gleefully deleted all my work alarms!!!! It’s finally sunk in I can do, eat, wear etc exactly what I want to do and am beholden to no-one.
