re: Do any retirees “miss” work?

I retired very young and only miss it a few days a year. I missed my co-workers for only a couple of months. I love the relaxed mornings. Now that my kids have grown up I have freedom to spontaneously do whatever I want. The eclipse? Just jumped into the car and drove 2 hours to see it. Baseball game? I've got 4 teams within 4 hours of me. Feel like just sitting outside smoking a cigar in the morning? Just grab a stick out of the humidor and grab my phone to read the news.

It'll take awhile to get used to not having the 8-5 structure but you'll enjoy it once you do.
