[quote=DCpetunia][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not quite the same thing, I suppose, but I went with my gut in retiring from Biglaw a decade early when I knew that I could easily bring in $1 million a year for that last decade by just going along to get along and phoning it in.  To say I have no regrets is an understatement. [/quote]

Must be nice!  And at least you have no regrets.[/quote]

Not only no regrets, but blissful happiness that I did it.  I'm finding that retirement costs a lot less than folks might expect -- with college, weddings, housing, etc. out of the way, plus you're not still saving for retirement.  I just didn't like the job and didn't need the money.  I'm also not one who thinks I need to work forever so my kids can get a big inheritance.  They're fine without one.    [/quote]

To the Biglaw retiree:  how do you spend your time now?  I am close to pulling the same trigger, and have been thinking about what to do with the free time in between traveling and visiting my children.  Start a small business?  Start a foundation of some tupe (we have the money to do that), etc?  How do you stay sharp, and relevant? [/quote]
