Re: Retirement

Congratulations Trev, and I am sure you will enjoy the benefits that come with retirement as you start to whine down after all your hard-working years!
I semi-retired 4 years ago and intend to fully retire in another 3 years.
I reached a stage in my life when I realised that I was going to more funerals than weddings or birth reveals, as friends my age started dying well before their time.
I also wanted more of a "work-life balance", after working many years in the corporate world with long hours.
The most important words of wisdom I learned from my father...
"You come into this world with nothing... During your time here, whatever you achieve, own or may lose does not matter in the end... As you will also leave this world with nothing". "Just appreciate what you have, enjoy the ride, and cherish those close to you".
Life is short and all of us only get "so many trips around the sun!"
Enjoy retirement!
