After the positive responses and congratulations on my Retirement thread, the idea came to me that there should be a thread that helps everyone prepare for the eventuality of retirement.
There were many great ideas, comments and great suggestions that came out of the conversation. What I would like to do is put this here as a repository for information for anyone who is:
Ready to retire
Close to retirement
Beginning to plan for retirement
One of the things I came to find out is that no matter how much I had thought I was prepared for retirement, there were still things I had not pondered or prepared for.
So this thread is for all your questions, comments, advice to help others that are close to retirement.
I mean....this board is about a year and a half away from being around for a quarter of a century, and many of us who have been around are there already.

Instead, we went through hair and makeup and had a wardrobe check, and when we went into the next room there was a 10+ member crew of light, sound, and camera people waiting for us. The producer was from another city flying in for this. Now I'm really curious what it's going to be. We were interviewed for about 20 minutes, so maybe we'll get a minute of air time when all is said and done. We got paid $200 for it.
Did you make them participate in a poll? :-) [Reply]

Old people sex scares you. Not the first time you thought anyone over 50 should stop humping and screwing and doing the intercourse.
You are hiding a secret. Did you have to satisfy an older woman in your neighborhood and you have never recovered after seeing a giant hair bush of grey pubes up close and personal while licking that old beat up piece of roast beef. :-) [Reply]

Oldest escort was about 32 and youngest about 19-20. I was in my late 40's to early 50's. My escort time existed in Northern Virginia for about a 3-4 year period between 2010-2014. The main agency I used called Classy Escorts was busted by the F.B.I. for money laundering of all things. Once they got busted I ceased dealing with escorts anymore as I felt I dodged a big legal bullet. Then I wound up dating that lunatic 14 year younger woman for 9 months that I documented here on CP.
When I was in my late teens to about 40, I dated older women almost exclusively. I had a 24 year old girlfriend at 18, my first real love when I was 24 was 3 1/2 years older, dated a 38 year old for nearly a year when I was 23, dated a hot sexy redhead from our golf course group who was 46 when I was 32. The last life of my was in New Jersey during 2005 and she was almost 5 years older than me. [Reply]

Did the interviewer look anything like Borat? [Reply]
We have one kid halfway through college and the other lined up right behind. We're looking forward to being empty nesters, but haven't figured out WHAT we want to do during that time, or in retirement.
I want to hear what CPers are doing, or planning to do, in retirement! [Reply]
I read this book prior to retirement. " How to Retire Happy Wild and Free"
Good read for those approaching retirement on how to adapt to being retired.
