Replying to a commenter Young brown bear va black bear…

So Damon says that he's going to be eligible for early retirement, but he's a little nervous about just leaving the workforce. And Damon, you're right to be nervous about it. Some people leave the workforce and just hit the ground running as far as just chilling and enjoying their retirement. Other people, like me, feel immediate and painful work withdrawal. And I like to look at it kind of like the brown bear, black bear deal where they say, the bear is black, fight back. If the bear is brown, lie down. And so they say, like, for one bear, you want to go at it. And the other bear, you want to get away from it. And some, I think, people are like that with their jobs. I was what I would call a brown bear. I should have lied down. I should have taken it nice and slow. I should have, like, relaxed. I should have relaxed into my retirement a little more sort of gradually. There are other people, though, that will just attack their retirement. And I think that's awesome. Either way works. But I don't know if you should force yourself to retire abruptly if you don't have to, especially if you have anxiety around it. Either way, best of luck with your retirement. You are going to love it. It's just if you transition poorly, you'll have a little, a little period there where it's not so great. But either way, you're going to love your retirement once you get it sorted out. And by the way, good on you for getting an early retirement.
