I find that as I get older, and approach retirement, my free time has actually been steadily decreasing. Instead of starting to wind down, I find myself being more stressed out and tired.
Several factors ...
1. aging parents demanding attention and energy
2. boomerang kids who aren't quite independent
3. as I am more senior in the MegaCorp organization, I am expected to provide more leadership and investment in my job ... more hours ... weekends .. etc.
I am tempted to give MC the big FU and move on. Anyway, as I approach the golden years they are not looking so golden. : (
I had more freedom and less stress 20 years ago.
Anyone else deal with this or am I unique??
