Retirement Thread
After the positive responses and congratulations on my Retirement thread, the idea came to me that there should be a thread that helps everyone prepare for the eventuality of retirement.

There were many great ideas, comments and great suggestions that came out of the conversation. What I would like to do is put this here as a repository for information for anyone who is:
  • Ready to retire
  • Close to retirement
  • Beginning to plan for retirement

One of the things I came to find out is that no matter how much I had thought I was prepared for retirement, there were still things I had not pondered or prepared for.

So this thread is for all your questions, comments, advice to help others that are close to retirement.

I mean....this board is about a year and a half away from being around for a quarter of a century, and many of us who have been around are there already.

So, please feel free to contribute!

Excellent mentality....what time I do have left here on earth family deserves the best I have left.

Since retirement, I’ve taken over most of the cooking. Been trying new recipes. Some I like, some not so much. But, that’s part of the process.

Made Shepherd’s Pie tonight. Pretty good, but I can see some alterations I’m going to make the next time.

Lord knows I’m never going to be a threat to Gordon Ramsey or Bobby Flay, but maybe I’ll make the cooking these proud one of these days.

yeah, I’m adopting this mindset and put it in my signature.

So, I retired earlier than planned. I still can have a great retirement. I also gained a couple of years of not working. When you are 65, time is worth more than money.

Been doing that myself as much as possible...mostly the normal things...meatloaf, tacos, spaghetti and meatballs, baked chicken, etc. I am nowhere near as good as my wife but in the last month no one has had to go to the hospital.

Made a couple of cakes...both peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies....

But the hard stuff my wife is having to teach me.

Not a frequent poster here, but retired a few weeks ago. I got a ton of info on YouTube, starting with this guy (https://www.youtube.com/@joekuhnlovesretirement), although he can be a bit repetitive. Once you start watching retirement videos, the YouTube algorithm will recommend more, some good, some folks just like to blather on. But overall, still a good resource.

Looks good. Been watching a lot of you tube videos like these to get my education level where it needs to be to make educated decisions about all this retirement stuff.

Yielding to peer pressure from you other oldies, I have announced my retirement, though it's a retirement with an encore.

I'm going work-free in September of 2024, but in the summer of 2025 I'll come back for three months to work on a specific annual contract that I've been working on for several years. Then in September of 2025 I'll go fishing or whatever for good.

This should be an interesting week of cooking for me.

Tonight was Voodoo Pasta, which is blackened chicken with pasta, Alfredo sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, and hot sauce on the side. I've thought about adding some peppers into the mix, but the family seems to like it as is, so don't screw up a good thing. Add in some salad and garlic bread, and that's a quick and filing meal.

Tomorrow night will be Tuscan Chicken over Orzo and then Thursday night is my first real adventure- Beef Tenderloin with a creamy mushroom sauce and garlic Parmesan asparagus. That's going to have a lot of moving parts, so I'm hoping everything turns out well.

There's little worry I'm going to show up on Iron Chef anytime soon, but I enjoying tracking down new recipes and giving it a shot. So far, no major disasters and a few dishes I've cranked out recently have been requested multiple times.

Considering the fact 90% of my cooking before retirement was either centered around ground meat or BBQ'ing something, I'm getting quite adventurous in my old age. *grin*

And you thought peer pressure was the territory of the high school agers....

Congratulations on the announcement of your retirement....September will come quickly and all of a sudden you are one of us.

Prepare to enjoy making your lawn look like the greens at Augusta and yelling at every kid that dares to walk on your lawn.

Also...the fun thing to do is find all the places you get free coffee and a discount on your dinner. 😁

Good of you to come back for that annual contract contribution. Buy some 'celebration quality' whiskey with a paycheck is my advice. While we've got #15 playing here - you never know what we might need to celebrate.
