Hi Folks, Long years ago, I started a silklist thread on whether to retire or not to retire at that point, but I continued to slug it out in the corporate world, and now the time has finally come when I have redeemed my retiree badge. At the stroke of the midnight hour a couple of Saturdays ago, I was at my retirement party and enjoyed my freedom!
Here's a light blog I wrote a week later: https://varnikadotorg.wordpress.com/2026/06/09/retired-but-not-tired/ I have many more things to do and share in my blog and will continue that series, but I thought I'd circle back here and talk about this topic again. In that long-ago Silklist thread, there were fervent discussions about the pros and cons of retiring early, what steps one should take to prepare for it, what to do after retirement etc. etc. There were many who had taken that route and most others who were contemplating it. The thread kept getting picked up again and again, and obviously struck a chord with many. My retirement journey has finally started, and I'm curious to hear other's experiences and thoughts about it. Are you retired? What are you doing post-retirement? On hindsight, would you give your younger self some advice about what you would do differently? If you're still working, do you think and plan for retirement? Is anyone even thinking about working till journey's end? Share away. Retired-but-not-tired etc. Sandhya
