You know you're retired when...

you set your alarm for 9 AM so you don't miss a 11:30 AM luncheon for the 400+ volunteers you work with.

You lose track of what day it is. That is a huge difference for me.

Being able to schedule appointments and not having to get the time off.
Not being able to use the excuse "I have to work" to get out of things you don't want to do.

Most of my business attire made a recycle pass through the racks at Goodwill. In retirement I dress for comfort: jeans, Ts, and sneakers.

This is only an issue when dealing with those that are still working.

I'm with you on that, though I now have "dress jeans" for those finer occasions.

Yeah, clothes are the other thing. Since I'm working from home, I don't need at least half of the clothes in my closet. I've been gradually giving some away.

Naked works when it's warm. My kitties don't mind.
