Confused about dryer sheets
I retired 6 months ago at 59. I have a home in Ohio and bought a second home in Florida. I called the water utility in Florida to have the bill put in my name and the nice lady asked me what I do for a living. When I said I no longer work, she told me I owed them a $300 deposit. I was a little miffed and she said they could check my credit and remove the deposit but I would have to do that in person. I did the credit report and all is well but it made me think. I have never been one to associate 'me' with my job. My career was a means to an end and that end was ER. Society and the business world associate people with their jobs. Now that I don't work how do I identify myself with the finance and credit companies? Am I an entrepreneur or am I self employed? On the credit check paperwork in Florida I wrote I was self employed and my company is called FIRE. I got a kick out of it. I have a pension coming when I'm 65 and will take my SS at 70. How do I maintain my credit rating or is it even necessary?
