I know a number of you are, like me, at a place in life where you would like to simply do something else. In my case I think I can do OK simply doing my own thing. I have lots of things "hobbies/activities" to keep me active and while I won't be rich I think I can do OK.
My real question comes down to this. EVERYONE I have discussed my decision with acts like I am some kind of nut. "Are you really going to retire?", "Do you have enough money to retire?", "How will you make it?" "Have you thought about your (fill in the blank)?"
Is it simply that knowone else has thought about it or they have not done anything to get ready?
Have any of you experienced this? I am sitting here in my new heals and a cute LBD thinking the whole world around me must be crazy.
