GiveHim6 102 Posted July 7, 2018 Will be our lucky (we hope!) day. We close Friday on our brand new house in Lexington which is just outside of Columbia. I also officially retire at the end of the week and become a man of leisure. The missus & I have been planning & preparing for this for several years but it always seemed like a long way off till it wasn't. Just as an aside, I hadn't bought a house in 15 years and the process of getting a home loan post-recession has been an eye-opening experience to say the least. It was a breeze in 2003, more like a hurricane in 2018. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TecVol 53 Posted July 12, 2018 Enjoy your retirement GH6...I sold my business and retired in April, and I never looked back. I hear people talking about retiring and getting bored..Not me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiveHim6 102 Posted October 12, 2018 Me neither. 3 months tomorrow since moving day. After getting over the trauma of that and getting mostly settled I finally have had a chance to relax some and also go back to what I dreamed about doing all through my working years: Art. More specifically, oil painting. I have an upstairs studio in our new house and am just finishing up painting #2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skyking 44 Posted June 17, 2019 11 more years before I “officially” retire. Who knows, I may just pull the top cord sooner! Congrats you two! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
