Retired over 11 years now, love it.
It is so nice to not have any burdensome responsibilities, crappy but necessary decisions to make, and generally piss people off because they can't do what they want to do. Don't miss any of that shit. Did I tell you I love my retirement? Good luck with yours.

I sold most of my stuff and moved cross country to be close to the grandkids. I haven't looked back. Time to pour another Makers 46. Good luck to you. My 1/3 interest in a rental back in Kali is in escrow. Looks like I may have a boat dock built this year thanks to the sale. Jet Drive Outboards look like a good option for me on this shallow river. |

Neither do my rental properties.
It's why I hired a property management company. Best $$$ I've spent, worth every nickel. Tenant has a problem, they call the management company at 2 am. They have it fixed and send me a bill. Another nice thing is that the properties are now worth 2 1/2 times what I paid for them 10 years ago. No complaints. Congrats on your upcoming retirement, You've earned it. |

Dubai. Yeah, I'm glad to be done with that shit. I did the consulting gig for 4 years, that was more than enough. I've done the "semi-retired" thing for 5 years, and I've had enough of that. I would like to play a round of real golf this summer.

Every cross-country move has problems: lost/broken items, missed dates, lack of crew, etc. With local moves they show up, move your shit, and it's all done the same day. Never had anything broken or missing in a local move. |

I got kicked out of Corporate America when I was 48, and never found another full-time job. I consulted and managed my two investment properties until i was 52, when I left the consulting gig. I considered that "semi-retired". Sold my big building last year, and now selling the little one, I just turned 57. I will still do my options trading though, which does require time and effort, so it is kind of like work, but I don't have a boss other than my wife. |

Moved recently back to CO from LA. Done probably 5 moves with a company. This was the first time that a move was done with no loss, and no breakage. The only thing that was damaged was a dresser pull. 2 bucks. I was amazed.

Good luck to the OP and all our other retired/retiring members. I've been getting calls asking if I'm accepting cash offers on a small commercial property that I own and have my business in. I've been here almost thirty years now and thought selling and retirement were what I wanted but the idea makes me nauseous now.
I imagine a big enough offer would cure the nausea but I'd be tempted to find something similar and keep growing or find a way to earn more with my current property. Just don't feel ready for retirement. |
