[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I retired from Biglaw in my early 50s about q decade ago and am now living quite comfortably off of an $8 million net worth supplemented by social security which we elected to take early despite not really needing it.  We were lucky that the law firm allowed us to stay on their health insurance plan up until Medicare, an age to which I’ve not yet arrived.  It’s made the premiums more manageable and predictable.

People often ask me how I “keep busy“ in retirement. My response is always “I didn’t know that was a requirement.“  Maybe I’d feel differently had I not hated my job for so many years, but I love waking up some days with literally zero on my plate and the complete freedom to do something or to do nothing.  The one thing I make myself do every day is moderately excercise - I am in far better shape and health than when I was - but other that that I don’t worry about being busy or occupied.  It’s a great feeling.  [/quote]

This sounds great and also well deserved. [/quote]
