I'm retired so I fill my days doing whatever I want. But I'm always interested in what other people would do if they had more free time.

I’m the same age and I’ve been retired for 25 years

I would have if I could have. But I had to wait until I hit the "20-years in" mark to be able to get my pension. It's the lowest pension because I'm out early, but like you, I wanna enjoy stuff while I'm still fit and healthy.

My gf is 35, so she kinda sorta tried to talk me out of it. She's fine with our age difference, but I think she got caught up in "OMG you're getting a pension!" haha

After she noticed how much I mess around and do whatever I want now, she sorta changed her attitude. But I'll be honest, she seems to be a little passive-aggressive. Maybe jealous of it?

Even tho she makes more money than I do, she seems a little bit resentful, so I dialed back the "Oh I just read this really good book all day" comments.

Not sure if our relationship will make it. But I don't care. I have no regrets about retiring early. And now I get to fuck around on Lemmy all day too! haha
