I'm retiring in a few years and am starting to get some time to play with all the tools I've accumulated so looking forward to becoming an active member.
I've actually been registered since 2021 but got caught in a catch 22 circle trying to log in and being told that some member already had that email address (which was me of course) I could not reset my password and couldn't log in.
I've been trying off and on for the last few years and finally the Login gods smiled on me

Welcome from SW Ontario.

Chazz is right. Also, if you do most of your buying before you retire, SWMBO won't notice it. After you retire, the girls develop a penny wise attitude toward everything except their stuff. Helps to have a retirement occupation that you can buy "required essential" stuff for.

I started farming. Best thing I ever did!

That’s what I use my income from Village Press for.
 
Welcome from Vancouver! Retirement means you can spend 6 hours making a custom fastener that you could buy for $25. Mind you, most of us were doing that pre-retirement...

Welcome from Lillooet BC..... I am also on the cusp of retiring and like you, I am rapidly filling the shop with enough projects to keep me going well into my 100's..... ;)

Lillooet, there's a name I haven't heard in decades, I was born and raised in Vancouver and during the summers me and my buddies would drive up to Lillooet as a starting point to raft down the Fraser and through Hell's Gate.
Always liked the town, hot and dry, just the opposite of Van.
