Updated 2026. My mother passed at age 97 (2024) RIP. I will be updating this site so I can help retirees again. Write to me!
Why it's great to be retired
by Martie
(Ohio)
No more outrageous union dues with little in return
No more back to school in August!
No more split fingertips and chapped hands from handwashing
I can garden as long as I want, WHEN I want
I can enjoy my hobbies and friends
Can vacation off-season
Can sleep in without guilt
No more trying to track down parents of sick students
No more ironing lab coats
Enjoying a healthy life for as long as God lets me!
