The Gipper Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 At the end of this month I will be closing my office that I have here in downtown Barberton, Oh. I will still be practicing, on a limited basis, so I guess you could say that I will be "semi-retired". I just won't have a permanent office for clients to come to. I will either meet them at their house, or at one of the local libraries, or in the conference room of the pair of attorneys whose offices are currently next to mine now. I have over 38 years in to practice, 17 of those at this current location. 25 years total in Barberton, before that 13 years in Norton. I will continue to serve as a magistrate in the local Mayor's court. That is only a twice a month thing. I am not sure but I still think I owe Dutch Oven a lunch at Al's which is only a few doors down from me now. Or does he owe me? Oh well. He better come quick.

calfoxwc Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 CONGRATS on your semi-retirement. It's time to take more time to goof off. Need a chauffeur? oh, wait, I'm retired too. Never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to you Gip enjoy your new part time working or not working status. Plus Social Security and Medicare greatly help when you hit 62 or 65 or whenever you decide to kick back and take it. Just get a gap policy if needed and you're all set. ........and yes you owe Dutch a dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never regretted retiring and it came just when my mother needed the most help as her Alzheimer's was starting to kick in. I was glad I was able to do that for her without a full time job driving me nuts at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been retired for years now due to medical issues, my wife got hurt at work in 2015 at 58 and had to have shoulder surgery, will never work as a nurse again. She offically retired in 2018. We really enjoy the new laid back lifestyle......I highly recommend it if you can swing it. I knew many of the mill guys that wotked forever and never really enjoyed it, a few never saw a pension check. Best advice plan early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear hat Gip. My Dad died 20 years ago last month and my Mom 8 years ago this coming St. Patrick's Day. Fitting for a 1/4 Irishwoman.
