I'm coming up on that age in just a few months. But I think I still have a couple or three years to go.

I can't wait to start, Dave. How old were you when you started retirement?

I heard a report just today that said 83% of the people polled over 60 years of age were not planning retirement because they were too afraid they didn't have enough money saved to do it. It's a state of mind thing IMHO for a lot of folks; no matter how much money they have, they don't think they have enough.

I went through it with my planner. I'm Probably ok right now, but I need to make sure. Summer homes, boats, offshore fishing, sports cars old and new and wintering someplace warm are all expensive things.

Great, assuming it worked out for you. I had no such drama. In fact, I actually had it made at work; just realized I was ready.

Only problem is that time seems to being going by so quickly....Here it is almost mid May and it feels like New Years was only a couple of weeks ago.
