Your thinking is in good order. I have known so many people who die soon after retirement in their 60's. I had a close call - retired May of 2005 and in Feb. this year had a heart attack. Thank goodness the doctors were able to get me back on my feet rather quickly but the whole experience made me want to live life to the fullest. We will start full timing sometime next year. 2 homes to sell first then we are off. One of my best friends filed his retirement papers and died several weeks later. He had been wanting to retire for several years and his wife thought they wouldn't have enough money. She ended up traveling alone. Retirement does take the stress out of your life or changes the level and stress does bad things to our bodies. Have a great life!
Happy trails.........................
