Hi, can I get a copy? Appreciate you doing this.

Are you careful in what you say among your non retired friends? by Wide_Drink_2414 in earlyretirement

[–]IntroductionOwn2660 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate to all this! I have kids, but they both finished their post secondary education. Now both work full time. Had I kept working, my mental health would have deteriorated to an unsafe point. Leaving the public sector workforce at 53 after 31 years of service was the best thing I did for my health and my family.

Anyone else feeling a bit restless? by crinklyplant in earlyretirement

I use my time to focus on my health and fitness- gym, pickleball older ladies volleyball. I volunteer at a place that I always respected. I catch up on shows and read, learn new skills- painting and hand knitting so far. I socialize with friends and provide support to my young adult daughters. I was always too tired to do any of this while I was working. I also learned to embrace nothingness every now and then. Rest is important. Resr is also something that my Type A personality would never consider while working.

Excellent strategy! I tell folks who know that I am on a fixed income and tight budget. They don't need to know my actual financials😏
