Re: First day of retirement

I decided to sell my business and retire at the turn of the year . I do have a few years in the bank before retirement age.
After thinking about it for a bit I decided to take a step back , promote people to take responsibility so the business could function without me.
I now have the perfect scenario (for me ) where I go into work when I have a free day, deal with the stuff that perhaps needs my experience. Its amazing to watch my staff run my company in a far more organised way than i ever did ,because I had it all in my head.
So I spend my free time walking coastal walks and mountains at home .
Recently had my insurance renewal meeting with my insurance broker walking the Horseshoe route on Pen Y Fan .
Off to Ireland next week for 9 days in my camper van
Jumping on planes to see amazing parts of the world , or anywhere that there is something going on that I am interested in.
It was a great decision for me , still feel I can contribute something, but have the freedom to do as I please . And have the income from my business and all the perks that go with it .

Dishes done ,hoovering done,dinner ready for tonight.How do women manage to do all of this and still work :shrug:
It is going to be a long haul.

Hope you have a great retirement. Remember to prioritise the things that you always wanted to do, but never had the time to.

I retired just before Covid struck, and I'm now catching up on lost time and postponed travel. Currently spending a month touring Germany by rail with my history books and football tickets - something I've wanted to do for a long time!

Is it the smell of urine and sweet sherry that gives it away?

Re: First day of retirement

My replacement was introduced to the business today, she joins in January & replaces me next April.

Until today my retirement has been something in the future, it’s now very real and there’s no U turn. Although they’re trying to persuade me to stay on as a consultant.

Roll on next June!
