We're certainly not, unless we have somewhere we have to be for an
appointment. Most mornings we get up no arlier than 9:00 a.m. I
spent most of my working life starting work at 7:00 a.m. and swore I
would never do that again.

I'm always up between 4 and 5 A.M. I believe it's because of my working
years when I got up at 4 A.M. everyday.

Cheri

Ahhhh yes, that would do it! I am often awake at that time but I don't want
to get up

I used to get up around 7.30am and in work for 9am. Good enough for me)

I'm semi-retired. I still get some consulting but with the massive
downturn in the oil patch, there is a lot of "resting between
engagements" as actors put it:-).
Even so, I plan to quit in the next 18 months. I figure I'll be almost
75 at that point and may as well.
Graham

Until you get an offer you can't refuse ... <g>

What will you do with yourself when you do retire?

Both my grandsons out in Alberta were fortunate to keep their oil
related jobs and the cash Younger one bought himself a boat last
time he was home here, says the sea is what he misses most. He doesn't
plan to stay out there forever.

75 is more than long enough to go, start smelling the wild roses

It's difficult enough now! I have been turning bowls etc for charities
and I might make some wig-stands for cancer patients. I don't want to
sell my stuff as that takes marketing and I've had enough of that in my
consultancy.

I don't know Bruno Mars. I know that the Super Bowl is a sports event
in the US. Something about the nipple of Michael Jackson's sister?

I thought a fish story was an exaggerated story, alright, but still
about fishing. Maybe I was half informed.

The difficulty is that professional registration, liability insurance,
accounting fees and software maintenance cost me about 5000 quid per
year. That's a substantial overhead for the occasional small job.

Nearly flavorless, which may be a good thing in their case.

I like BEING up early, just not GETTING up early. I know a few people
that have your hours.

My comfortable body rhythm is to get up about 7 to 7:30 and go to sleep
12:30 to 1 AM.

The first half of my life was in Philadelphia where most factories were
8-4 and offices 9-5. When I moved to CT everything moved up an hour.

I slowed down at 66 but worked to just past 71. I don't regret working
longer, but I don't regret having retired. Don't fear it.

Smart. Turning a hobby into a business makes it a job. No fun when you
suddenly have deadlines and obligations.

I was still working flat out, but enjoying it, until I was 70. Now the
small projects are more of a bother. I'm concerned with being productive
after retiring. I've noticed that a lot of retirees who say that they
are busier now than when they worked are often deluding themselves as
they appear to be doing bugger-all.

I enjoyed to too, but some changes took the fun away. I'm not deluding
myself. I'm not busier than ever and don't plan to be. My major
accomplishments today were taking my wife and a friend to lunch and
renewing my driver's license. With a big lunch we skipped dinner so I
didn't have to do that today.

I don't want to be a growing mass in front of the TV, but I don't worry
about being productive. I was productive for years so I don't care
about it now.
Priorities:
1. My wife's needs and happiness
2. My happiness
3. Anything else that comes along when I get to it.
