Congrats Shawn. I sure hope it works out for you brother.

Bruzee · 03-04-2009, 07:24 PM

Congrats bro, and best of luck!

I too would stay home with the kids if we could afford to do so!

CBI_2 · 03-04-2009, 07:28 PM

WOW! That is fantastic. Congrats and prayers for your wife's success. I know you'll enjoy the time with the kids.

Smokin Gator · 03-04-2009, 07:28 PM

Congrats brother... I am "retiring" at 49 in a couple of months so we can experiment together.

pnoon · 03-04-2009, 07:31 PM

Congratulations, Shawn. I'm very happy for you. (And a tad bit jealous.

)

To be able to retire at 41 and spend quality time with your children is truly a blessing.
I wish you all the best.

hotreds · 03-04-2009, 07:33 PM

God Bless you and your family, brother! May the rest of your lives be the best of your lives!

MedicCook · 03-04-2009, 07:36 PM

Congratulations on the retirement! I'm glad that circumstances allowed you to take this step. I hope it brings nothing but happiness for your family

acruce · 03-04-2009, 08:23 PM

Good luck my friend! I hope it all works out for you and your family.

shilala · 03-04-2009, 08:26 PM

I did the same thing when I was 35, brother. Well, kinda the same thing.
My wife didn't do anything, she just mostly b!tched at me and stuff.

Tomorrow I turn 42 and I'm kinda thinking about getting a job. I miss having a real job. A steady income would be something new, too.
The cool thing is that since my daughter was born 12 years ago her and I have been tied at the hip, because I've always been 100% available. She's the the most incredible human being I have ever met, and she works really hard at teaching her Dad to quit being such a dick. That relationship is the single most incredible thing that's come out of being semi-retired.
You're in for the time of your life. You're gonna love it.
If you need any pointers on how to do nothing and look really good doing it, just give me a shout. For additional inspiration, watch all the videos at oddtodd.com. It's good stuff.
Go to the grocery store tomorrow and get plenty of Pringles. They're absolutely essential to being successfully semi-retired.

cigarusmaximus · 03-04-2009, 08:36 PM

If I read between the lines you still have mixed emotions about the whole thing. I hope you will soon consider this a blessing and a terrific accomplishment. Enjoy your family! Well done!

Sailchaser · 03-04-2009, 08:37 PM

Congrats Shawn, My wife has taught me that you need to live each day to the fullest,take chances and experience things today for there may be no tomorrow, enjoy and I hope we can have that smoke together this year
