I'm 57 and have 10 years until I can retire, due to a layoff that wrecked my 401(K) and a divorce that stripped me of accumulated equity. Watching other folks retire earlier than me doesn't bother me, though. I'm at top of my professional career and loving my work, and I've got an awesome hardworking sweetheart of a girlfriend who loves to boondock travel with me. The things she pesters me about are for my own good - drink less beer, organize the garage and gun room, walk more, eat better, etc.. And always reminding me that we're living the best part of our lives.

Sure, I'm looking forward to not working but I'm not burnt out yet. However, the one lesson I've learned from watching other folks after they retire is this: if you retire to the couch, you won't be around much longer.

Find something to get you off your ass and out from in front of the TV. Go shooting. Go fishing. Grow a vegetable garden. Do the projects that you CAN physically handle. And for Pete's sake, let HER demonstrate the Kama Sutra positions that she wants to get you into. Likely will be more interesting than Ancient Aliens!

Single spend all my money on guns and ammo and go on a few dates. My buddy told me marriage is the worst contract you can sign and I have seen a few buddies be in sexless marriages because of the kids I just don't see the worth in the long run.

Dude my post was satire I'm am retired though and miss my job with Hillsborough County Fire Rescue. I do watch Ancient Aliens too. I even eat chili dogs while doing it. but I drink very little anyways. My wife is actually a really great person. Never argue about money because we each have our own private checking accounts and finances. Been that way for over 30 years. I couldn't tell you what she has in her bank. Never asked and besides it's hers non of my business. She has bills to pay and I have bills to pay. She's an accountant and I will give her receipts for deductions though. We work together as a team. Plus in our 35 years together she's never said no I trust her explicitly. But seriously my post was meant to be some what of a joke

Oh yeah I fish almost everyday from dock. Love kayaking. Not burnt out at all. But one thing we did was pay off our house before retiring. No bills really to speak of. We travel alot here in state in the RV when we can get a site at a state park. Damn snow birds have them booked up. Live 10 minutes from an outdoor gun range to. Do knew to organize my ammo room though. I've got alot.

A man and his wife go on vacation for their 25th anniversary.

As the couple reflected on that magical evening 25 years ago, the wife asked the husband: "When you first saw my naked body in front of you, what was going through your mind?"

The husband, without looking up from his paper, replied: "All I wanted to do was to screw your brains out and s*ck your boobs dry."

Then, as the wife undressed, she asked coyly: "Sooo...what are you thinking now?"

He replied: "It looks like I did a pretty good job."

Great response, I'll forward that to my sons.

I always tell her “no sweety, you [they] look fine. But occasionally she asks stupid chick questions, and I let them go over my head. She’s a great cook, & I’m lucky to have her in my life. GARY

Absolutely agree with this. My wife Looks good, nice hooters and can cook and has ever said no
