I'm retiring early from my vanilla job, I'm very excited about this and have lots of plans on how to fill my time

Has anyone else retired early, what have you filled your time with ?

Is being a single guy on fab a way of guaranteeing your celibacy?

I retired. Found 7 days a lot of time to fill even having loads of plans of things to do.

Got sooo bored so went back to work part time.

Trust me. Retirement is not all its cracked up to be.

We both retired early.

Neither of us think in terms of "filling our time" it immediately gives the impression that paid work is all there is.

All the things we'd dreamed of doing when sat in boring meetings or on long drives became possible (within financial boundaries of course).

Between us we do a lot of DIY stuff, reading, sewing, gardening, going out to various places, visiting friends and family, learning languages, walking, basically living and enjoying life. It takes a while to realise that you don't have to spring out of bed to get ready for work but on a fine sunny morning it's such a pleasure to spend an hour with your morning coffee, chatting rather than a rushed 15 minutes while answering emails.

Enjoy your retirement

For me the best bit is simply doing nothing. It gives you time to really sort yourself out in your head.

Still in my first month of retirement, I’m currently busy doing all the things I didn’t get round to whilst working. That said, not hearing the alarm go off at 5am is a blessing and opening the curtains on a sunny day without work is the best, if my family don’t allocate me jobs because it’s that nice sunny day..

Hopefully more me time once a few month is over.

That’s sounds great. I yearn for that kind of time and space life is so busy and rushed.

I could retire in 2-3 years if I relocate now , the tax savings alone will pay of my mortgage in a year and 2 more years would be enough to retire on. I’m thinking about it but also love my hone and friends here so may end up working to 60

It's getting the right balance isn't it.

We did relocate, we needed to downsize in order to afford to retire. Although I talk glibly about being the best decision we ever made etc etc it was not an easy one to make. Leaving the security of full time pay for a fraction of the income is a huge leap and you don't adjust overnight to not working. That said it really is the best decision we ever made.

Finedon ,

I initially retired at 62, some 6 months into retirement and with all the things to do have been completed I was head hunted with an offer I could not turn down.

I finished up working until I was 70 when I finally called it a day.

I have no regrets and am now 12 years into retirement, albeit with some health issues which cramp my style but none the less still enjoying life.

Only 18 years away from telling everyone on Fab that they are outside my age parameters

It's ace!

I took early retirement from the NHS at 55, dossed about doing whatever I wanted for a few years then went back to work part time stacking shelves.

I love it and have a load of free time but I'll probably carry on after 67.

I'm 61.

I love my job. It gives me purpose, structure and gets me out of the house and away from the extended family we have living with us. I couldn’t face the thought of retirement at least until my boy has finished school and my house is free from dependants.

That’s a really good thing to do. I seriously considered it after doing jury service, but felt that I wouldn’t really have the time to devote to it properly around my day job’s shifts.

It's great to hear all the retirement experiences. For some, 55 is not a day soon enough and others want to work until they drop. It depends on many things, but generally in my experience, those who retire early rarely regret it. There's just no point being the richest corpse in the graveyard and with advancing age comes challenges which can reduce independence. Old age is no place for a coward.

I would say if you can afford it, go for it. You can always get a job again if it doesn't work out.

Nobody knows what is round the corner, apart from more corners. Before you even factor in Putin
