Sounds like a good plan. Your going from over 80 hours a week to 40. Your making me feel lazy.Good luck to you . Hope to see you at a M&E sometime.

Congratulations on your retirement and good luck on your job search.

I'm a strong believer in the "semi" part.

 

I tried retirement. It was boring, fattening, and didn't pay all that well. I went back to work at a less strenuous job. Too many hours, admittedly, but still not as demanding as what I did before. And I can still afford nice toys.

 

Good luck, hope things work out as well for you!

[Kregerdoodle]

Best of luck to you!! Hope it all works out for ya!

Well I am somewhat, nearly almost semi retired (again). Been trying to work 3 days a week, and some weeks I can actually pull it off.....

 

It's great if you can make it work for you.

 

Good luck

I retired in 09 after 32 years with the company, 1st year was working on the Honey-do list. Then got into construction for a while but didn't like the travel. Now I work 7 hour days 3-4 days a week maintaining the building and equipment at a local private girls high school, quiet and easy work after 32 years in a tier 1 stamping plant, quiet and easy is good

 

They are very flexible, if I want time off it's usually not a problem.

 

 

Good Luck in your semi retirement.

I was semi-retired for 18 years, then Katrina came, gas went up, and I had to go out and get a real job, that was 7 years ago, looking forward to retiring for good when I turn 65, that is in 2 years, 4 months, and 38 days, but who's counting............LOL:dancefool:

[dacheedah]

I tried that and now I work more and harder than the first time around, good luck

[Michael_Bishop]

I retired a little over 4 years ago. It's still seams that I don't have time to do all I want.

I retired ten years ago. I went from 8 hr days, ten on and five off to ten hour days and no days off.
