I gotta be honest I am still on the fence about retirement
I am sooooo glad to be out of state government service because it has become so dysfunctional; but, I miss the sense of purpose and fulfillment that I got by doing my job well
I guess I would have retired at the end of this year anyway if the boss hadn't put her foot down that I retire at 60 so I guess the point is moot
I know that retirement killed my dad; I am firmly convinced he would have lived years longer if he kept working
IDK, in the end all you can do is try it and see if it works for you
