re: Do any retirees “miss” work?

I'm keeping an eye on this thread. My plan is to retire in 3 years. My wife has to work 13 more years and she says she's OK with that. We'll see, lol. She's younger, and will need to work until she can get on Medicare. I'm going to jump on her insurance.

I'm like you, extremely burned out on work. Starting working as a kid when my dad had a construction company and never any time off. I hate what I do now. Sunday nights are miserable knowing Monday is tomorrow.

People tell me the same thing. I'm going to miss it. Will hate retirement, etc. I just don't see it, lol. But maybe I'm wrong. Still have 3 years to go. But I'm counting down.

And I really don't travel, have no real hobbies, but a couple of grandkids. I just don't want to work anymore, period.
