How can you retire?
I mean I am not sure what the heck I'd do with myself if I retired. I would enjoy it for like a month and then it would bother me.
I made the mistake of going on a cruise with my wife for the 7 day cruise instead 3 or 4 day ones. After 4 days, I was ready to come back and couldn't wait to be back.
