Not 2000. We retired in late 2006, just in time to walk into the 2008/2009 bear market.
Ended 2008 down -47%.

That had to gut-wrenching. It was for us, and I was working.
Though looking back, I could actually have retired in 2007 and we would have been ok. Not sure I would have stayed retired in 2008.

It's a good life if you don't weaken.

Indeed.
