Retirement Countdown App

I have been working in the medical field for 48 years. I downloaded the app last spring planning to retire August 31, 2023. I changed my mind and decided to stay until February 29, 2024. Well I changed my mind again. I’m still working. I do have a third date in mind. I sure do hope that the third time is a charm. I love the app because of the count down, quotes, and anticipation. And you can keep changing the date! I think it’s up lifting. I’m looking forward to seeing the confetti fall!

After 44 wonderful years in the medical field, and same hospital, i decided time to retire. I started the countdown a little over a year ago, with no definite date in mind, but used an estimated date. When the exact date was entered, I really looked forward to watching the days go by. Finally, it was hours left. When the countdown ended, the screen was full of confetti. I decided to just keep the app as a reminder of the enjoyment of watching it countdown. (And to watch the confetti)

I was marking off the remaining days on a small desk calendar but needed the encouragement of something portable so got this app. I have enjoyed the many features such as the uplifting quotes, the card game, reading suggestions, and daily list of things to look forward to when retired. Of course being able to toggle between days left and then hours etc also kept me going. I retired last week and Now when I open it it sends off fireworks and a congratulations message. Highly recommend!
