"How Long Have You Been Retired?" Topic

Assuming you are retired…

7 years and 2 weeks.

4 years, this time. 3 weeks, first time.

6 months. Then I went back a couple months ago, part time. It's kinda like a victory lap – they really couldn't manage without me. I'll finish this contract in another couple months, and retire again.

10 years

I wish.

It will be four very happy years in September.

46 days. Unless you count all the work the wife has piled on me…

12 more years to go, and counting. Gah!

In two and one half months.

3 years 6 months

6 years, although I have been drawing my pension for 14 years.

Since September 2008. Went back to school for a while ….

Will be in 129 days! I'll have 43 1/2 years as an RN.

Counting down the days, weeks, months, years…… (Sigh) until I can retire.

3 years 7½ months – and loving it!

1 month the first time, then 15 years. Everyday a Saturday!

Based on my current financial status, I will be able to retire three months after I die. The decreased food intake and other lessened associated expenses are the key!

13 years

Last November. They were losing a man a year to stroke and heart attack, and I looked to be next.

Two years.

3rd retirement anniversary just last week.

T minus 13 years and the clock is running.

15 years plus. Took early retirement because of heart trouble. Still here, so I guess it helped!

10 months.

Five years from now – if I am really, really lucky

I've been retired two years. Best job I ever had !

A hair over two months.

Retired from the NPS in July 2005. Early retire after 30 years and got a pension. Since I had one child in college, and a second getting ready I could not hang around on the couch all day. Started a new career with jetblue airlines. I am still there (although now part time)! Number one daughter has finished her master's and number one son is half way through degree and I am having a ball at work. Love my job and wife loves to travel.

From the Army, 2 years, from my real job, still working, but counting the years and months in a final countdown.

SIX AND A HALF MMONTHS! AND ITS BEEN GREAT!

Nearly 19 months,

19 years. And retirement is all it's cracked up to be…and more.

16 years in Feb.
Seems like another lifetime.

Something between 1.5 and 3 years to go before retirement.

I'm not allowed to retire, my wife doesn't like me hanging around cluttering up the place. Says I make it look untidy.

14 years. 😀

Thirteen years

8 years, this month

-15 years or so…… at least I hope I can retire by then.

Retirement 1: 2001 with early retirement package, Pension and Medical coverage but not old enough to stop working.

Retirement 2: 2014 company lost contract and would have to become a temp again but turned 62 10 days before lost job so went on social security.

Social Security + pension + savings = OK

Not a pensioner yet, and the pension age seems to get further away as I approach it.

Five years. And I have since then painted thousands of figures, including those for my own collection, bought hundreds more and – most important – got to play very regularly with five grandchildren.
Mind: "retiring" is definitely not the same as "stop working"!

Health problems forced me out 4 years ago but am only now coming to terms with not having a job to go to. I miss the stress and the money.

On the plus side I have painted thousands of figures in those 4 years.

Nine and a half years. Took early retirement, otherwise there would be another 7 years to go.

T Minus 12 years and counting.

I am working right now – honest I am …

10 years this September. work harder now than when I had a career.

6 yrs no regrets

14 years and I've loved every moment of it!

Livin the dream!
