Congratulations on making it !!
I'll have 29 yrs in December and want to hang on and make it an even 30, we'll see if I last. I can go at any time and start drawing on defined benefit pension. Several people in similar roles as mine have gone on to the financial sector in administrative positions for attractive salaries but.... rebooting their vacation time off back to two or three weeks and right back into the 9-5 rat race. Mainly for the money which they stack on top their pensions. I can see it on one hand but on the other it would be nice to have the freedom of being fully retired. We discussed similar a couple weeks ago on here about how our priorities change in our 50's and above and for me, I don't think retiring just to start working again full time (part-time, yes) is what I'm after no matter the pay check.
