I retired with a pension from the Canadian forces when I was 42. When the first pension payment showed up in the bank 2 months later, I couldn't believe it was really true. I enjoyed my retirement, and took on a few contract jobs (3 of them in Kandahar) if the job interested me. Twelve years later, I got the opportunity to work with the Shilo museum as their mechanic and possibly earn a second pension. I'll do this job for as long as I enjoy it.....I don't need the ulcers that tensions at work can bring, so hopefully it is smooth sailing for the next decade. Once my military years and my civil service years equal 35, the pension flatlines at 70%, so unless I really enjoy the job, it may be time to leave.
As a person who has experienced retirement once already, I would highly recommend it.
