[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been on here a lot talking about my decision to retire from Biglaw at 53 about a decade ago.  At the time my net worth was about 4 million.  Now it's about 8 million.  I'm still covered by my former firm's group health care plan, but I pay the full premium (which I also did as a partner anyway).  I elected to take SS early and started last year, not because I needed to but because I didn't need to.

I love retirement, am never bored, have found plenty of ways to occupy my time whenever I want to occupy it -- which isn't always -- and don't miss work for a second.  It's almost like I never even had a job.

Best decision I've made since in decades.[/quote]
I always like reading your posts, Retired Former Biglaw Partner!  I actually thought of you when deciding whether or not to take early retirement at 56 from a Federal law job I’ve loved for close to 30 years. I did so a couple months ago, and am very happy with the decision.  I too have no problem finding things to occupy my time and interest, and I am absolutely loving the freedom to structure my time mostly as I see fit—I still have a teen at home. Finances were not an issue for us as we have significant savings in addition to my pension and DH will work for another few years. My only current struggle is my ongoing failure to convince myself that I actually enjoy gardening.[/quote]

Ha ha thank you for the shout out and congratulations!  I'm happy to have assisted in my small way in inspiring you.[/quote]
