Well I had planned on working another year or two. There was so much more I wanted to finish. Then my liver went south and I am facing a lot shorter end date than I expected. So I retired rather hastily. A mountain of work to get affairs in order. It has been intense. I'm looking forward to things slowing down.

That all said my advise is to live life to the fullest. If that is work for you, that's fine. I would recommend taking lots of vacations and doing those things while you still can. You never now what the future holds.

I have never heard anyone on there death bed say they wished they had taken fewer vacations, spent less time with family, and spent more time working.

Although I do have some dope head relatives that would feel that way if they ever get there head on straight. Well that's not going to happen.
