Tom,

I think you made a wise choice.  Since I retired a couple years ago, I've 
been poorer but much happier.  I have no doubt that stress takes a terrible 
toll and you're much better off without it.  I'd be lying if I said that my 
reduced income and much increased health insurance costs weren't an issue. 
Still, I'm much better off from a health standpoint having made my break. 
Good luck and enjoy your down time.  Lou
