Ok so you retire and sell out now what?

There is no right or wrong answer to retirement..Decide on what you want to do..Don't worry what the neighbor decides..Its your life..Just 1 life..enjoy, because it way shorter than most realize..Plan ahead...

"Cattlemen don't retire, they just calve later.."
My problem is I love doing what I do, but I want to see and do lots of other stuff....

Most of you are straight grain farmers it should be an easy transition ..Bazinga

[farmaholic]

wakopa, I'm kinda slow, what are you getting at? Is there something I said or implied that I need to defend. Be a little clearer and I'll give it my best shot. I may need to make an apology?

My father retired at 56, sold every acre to the Hutts, bought a nice home in Regina, spent every winter from Oct 30 to April 15 in Mesa. He had the best retirement he could hope for and life was good. Most of our friends are doing the same and are loving it. But, not everyone enjoys the same thing.

Grassfarmer, I agree with your comments re continuity of the family business. We love working with our son and everyday build more trust in his ability to carry on the farm business.

Personally, I don't plan on retiring, I like to think in terms of reinventing myself instead.

[farmaholic]

Braveheart, are you obsolete? Lol

[fjlip]

Brave to reinvent one should not be over the hill, wait too long to try another career, think I missed that already, obsolete is the feeling.

[Braveheart]

Farmaholic, obsolete? I think Doc Holiday from the movie "Tombstone" said it best for me. Johnny Ringo said to him, "What about you? You retired too?" Doc replies, "Not me. Ah'm in my prime!"

[Braveheart]

Fjlip, we become what our thoughts and actions lead us to become. If you day you're obsolete, you become obsolete.

Reading your posts you strike me as someone who is far from obsolete. I just don't know what the hell fjilip means.

[Braveheart]

That should read, if you say you're obsolete . . .

I think my spell check is obsolete.

Grass it's a question! About guys who sell out or are thinking of selling what will happen!
