Hey I'm finally getting ready to retire and looking for any tips/warnings/suggestions.
Everything is paid for, says I'll get $1,989 SSR a month plus I have my 401k. It says my "expected life span" is 85 but I rather doubt I'll make near that. I enjoyed my younger years to the fullest and now have to pay the piper. I've got COPD/Emphysema. Not sure what stage and don't really care. I'm not on oxygen and I can still get out and hunt for several hours with no problems. That is why I'm thinking about collecting my 401k as one lump sum so I can live good in my golden years.
I have spent the last 40+ years metal detecting so there isn't much left on my bucket list. I would like to hunt a good beach one time tho.
I'm really looking for any regrets any of you that have retired in hopes I can avoid them. I hope to spend the rest of my time detecting and driving fast cars. And a little bit of drone flying in my off times LOL. Guitars and guns.
Thanks
