I think it all depends; if your whole 'life' was your work/job, you may well be miserable, i.e. "I'm SO bored." I've seen it happen. I started cutting back at 58 or 59 and finally sold the last of the cows 4 or 5 years ago. Took me about 4 or 5 years to completely quit.....stopped row-cropping, sell some of the cows, etc. If I had it to do over, I'd probably just quit all at once. I've never been happier; had a 'list' of things I wanted to do and am working my way through them. No way I'll live long enough to get 'em all done; built a pavilion in our pond the first year (or two); enclosed a 14 x 28 ft. storage room in a hay barn the next year (wife and I are both pack rats and were paying rent on 2 storage buildings in town); built a wood-working shop the next year.....have spent 40 years collecting wood-working tools and they were scattered in several buildings on the farm; numerous hobbies......stained glass, wood, metal, volunteer work in the community, etc. No way I'm gonna live long enough to get it all done. Here's the pavilion.......every bolt, screw, post, nail, etc all by myself; there's also a restroom in the woods just beyond it w/hot water, flush toilet etc. Life is good.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
