I am at a cross roads, meaning that I have the money to retire starting in April. At least from my present position and thinking about going Part time. Benefits are of a topped out hourly rate of
$26.00 an hour $39.00 an hour on Sundays if I choose, work 25 hours a week, two bonuses a year of a total of 7k, winter leave of 30 days and have 8 personal days as well as being paid for 8 sick days. 5 weeks of vacation and a 5 am to 10 am shift Monday through Friday if I choose this schedule. Being able to add 24K a year in 401K while Part time.
The retirement income will not be far off of what I am living off of currently.
I will be 58 in another month..............
What should I do? walking away from a lot of money in my current position, walking a way from a lot of stress .......
Thoughts?

I want to be healthy enough to travel, and if I can get feedback from anyone that is currently retired, that would be great!

Great question betone, I'm 52 and just started the 24k 401k max and getting 100 % of my first 9% on my 401k, no pension. All kids college loans paid off. I want out at 59. Probably have to work part time to cover health insurance. Already have my retirement place in Sarasota fla. You never know when your time is up. Go for it buddy. I know that's my plan.

I retired when I was fifty.......The saying "NO ONE ON THEIR DEATH BED EVER SAID, "BOY , I WISH I HAD WORKED LONGER." was always in the back of my mind and helped me make the decision. :0008
