I hung it up at 54. Been a bum for 6 years. I come from a long line of early quitters.

Yeah. I quit in 2005, did nothing but fish and trap for 3 years and got bored. Started killing groundhogs for $ and now they are working the crap out of me and I love it.


Never argue with a fool - they will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Sounds like a great life to me. Less a man has the less he has to think/worry about it.


Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

I've been retired for 20 years. I guy asked me what I did with my time. I said I don't do anything and I start at noon. LOL

But I do find that I accomplished more when I was working full time. Now I can just keep putting things off till I feel the need.

When will this become a job? Probably when one needs to ask others what their opinion is. lol

Ha, I've had people ask me if I am bored since I retired... I just tell em, I hunt, trap, fish, metal detect, golf. Heck, I'm more tired now than when I was working road construction.
