10 1/2 years ago already for me. It's flying by and health issues are getting more numerous.

Seven years for me and was the toughest decision I ever made to that point in my life. I checked out as early as age goes, so I still had my health and energy to do all the things I love to do. It has been a great 7 years and yes, the time flies by way to fast.

You can't buy back time and for me MY TIME had more value to me than a paycheck.

To all who have retired, congratulations! I envy you.
At 61, I have been stressing about retiring for some time. I'm torn somewhere between "why keep working for time I can't get back- pull the plug" and " if I just work a couple more years, there will be a significantly more money to play with in retirement"
Decisions...Decisions...

9 years for me. My goal was 55 but waited until 60. Even though I missed my goal I was still better off than working until death!

32 years ago was first retirement, 2 years ago was second retirement, and third retirement will be when they plant me. Doing what I enjoy, so no reason to quit.

11 years ago at 50…but went back to work two weeks later and plan to keep going till 65 unless somebody really ticks me off…so, more or less semi-retired.
