Super User eyedabassman Posted June 1, 2011 Super User Posted June 1, 2011 I did retire May 31 so now I can live my dream and guide more and just fish during the week and let the others have the lake on weekends. It sure feels weird not to have to go to work. 059: Quote

Super User Grey Wolf Posted June 1, 2011 Super User Posted June 1, 2011 CONGRATS !!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome to the brotherhood. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted June 1, 2011 Super User Posted June 1, 2011 Congratulations! In a few more years I plan on joining the brotherhood. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted June 1, 2011 Super User Posted June 1, 2011 Congratulations and welcome to the club ! Like anything new - it takes some getting used to. All that "stuff" that you had to squeeze in around and between work during the week and on weekends - is now something that you can take your time with and actually enjoy. You'll soon realize that you're sharing you're new world with a "shorter crowd". And you are right on about fishing during the week rather than the weekends. A-Jay Quote
Bladesmith, Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Congrats! Takes a long time to get to this point in life but it's a new beginning. Now, your time is truly....your time! Enjoy, you've earned it. Quote
Super User senile1 Posted June 1, 2011 Super User Posted June 1, 2011 Congratulations! You have to be flying high! I'm on target for an early retirement but depending on healthcare inflation and other factors I may work longer or shorter. It is definitely something that I am looking forward to. I am so tired of fishing only when I can and not when I want to. Quote
GLADES Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Congrats to you. I hope I will be able to do the same someday. Enjoy your retirement eyedabassman! Quote

tholmes Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Congratulations! Enjoy every minute of it! I've got 5 more years in the rat race, if I last that long I'm looking forward to joining the weekday fishermen. Tom Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted June 1, 2011 Super User Posted June 1, 2011 Congrats and enjoy! I've been retired for two years now. I'm busier now than when I was working but still manage to squeeze in fishing every day Quote
detroit1 Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Weekday fishing....how cool is that? I hope to retire someday, but i don't know if i can stop working. As much as i love fishing, i don't think i could every day. Congrats! Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Great news! Very happy for you! Fish during the week, must be nice! Enjoy it! Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted June 1, 2011 Super User Posted June 1, 2011 Congrats!! Looking forward to my hopefully early retIrement whenever that may be... Quote
Super User Lund Explorer Posted June 2, 2011 Super User Posted June 2, 2011 Congrats! Now quickly change your phone number so your old boss/clients can't call you to try to get you back off the water! Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted June 2, 2011 Super User Posted June 2, 2011 Welcome to the club. Ain't life grand when you get to the stage that you are not at the mercy of the weather? If the weather is good, you can go. Is it a nasty weekend? So what? You can now go on Monday, or Tuesday, or any other day as long as it ends in "y". Congratulations, and enjoy. Quote
kms399 Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I cant wait till I can retire. The only thing that gets me through the day is knowing that I am one day closer to retirement I only have 36 years 8 months and 12 days left! Enjoy your retirement you've earned it. Quote
Hiram Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Congratulations! I also retired at 3:00 PM on Tues. May 31th. I woke up at 3:30 this morning made coffee, took a cup to the garage, looked at my rods just sitting there and realized that I need new friends. Everyone I fish with still has to work. I'm going to enjoy making new friends. Enjoy and see you on the water. Quote
