What thought processes did you go through when deciding to retire?

I’ll be 60 in a couple of weeks. That fact, and a lingering health issue has me thinking seriously about retirement in the next 6 months to a year.

I know I need to consider health insurance and cash flow, as well as what activities I want to be involved with. What I don’t know are the potential emotional and mental impacts.

Have you been through this? Will you share your experience? TIA
