Title: Officially retired!!
Post by: KyNola on March 31, 2011, 11:24:59 AM
This afternoon I joined the ranks of the unemployed.  38 years and 10 months ago today I began my banking career as a teller making $400.00 monthly.

One chapter of life closes and a new one opens tomorrow. :)

The worst thing about retirement is having to drink coffee on your own time.
Congratulations

You started off making $400 a month! Heck I only made $340 a month 36 years ago. I guess I should have gone into banking? Good luck and Congrats!  ;D

Congrats Larry. I started working when I was 14 so that's 34 years so far. And I have my retirement all planned out. Unfortunately it involves a pine box and 6 feet of dirt. And no I am not going to be gardening.  :D :D :D  ;D You enjoy it, you earned it.

Thank you each and everyone.  New experience for sure.  As far as tipping a couple in New Orleans, I'm down with that!  Jan and I leave for NOLA 3 weeks from today!  Have to be there for Easter Sunday weekend.  Best weekend of the year for NOLA in our experience.

Thank you all so much!

Congrats Larry!  While my wife retired 2 1/2 years ago I still have 5 years to go before I can collect my SS. However, I will still run the company.  In truth I'm semi retired as it is.

Again congrats and I hope the next door you go through is a good one for you.

Congrats, Larry!

Since I'm so jealous, I did the math, and by golly, I might retire myself!
The money part will all work out great if I expire before Memorial Day!
