Last Thursday, I cleaned out my office and handed in my keys.
The end of 31 years in Education, the last 22 as a High School Administrator.
No more getting up at 4 AM
No more 130 mile round trip commutes daily.
My stress level has decreased significantly.
The state of Ohio made my decision for me. With changes being implemented August 1, both my Accountant and Financial adviser convinced me that I couldn't afford not to retire.
Have already started the process of looking at second careers, and have already met with a non profit that focuses on employment for seniors. Financially, I don't have to work, but I'm not ready to totally hang it up yet., However, I am ready for a change.
Been busy working around the house and doing the things that I didn't have the time to do or was to exhausted to do.
No complaints yet.
Retirement has been good to me so far.
