Five years ago today was my last day of w#rk!
I left with mixed feelings as I needed to be able to be more available for my family, and was afraid that I was making the wrong decision. Five years shows me that I did the right thing! My better half was still working (he left in June of the following year). My job had a lot of prestige, but as I said then and still say now - it was a dream job, just not mine. I liked the actual w#rk but not what the company had devolved into. From reading so many of your posts, most of you understand completely!
As my name implies, I am still figuring out what I might like to do with my spare time, as I still have little of it. I have the old ladies I help and visit which also gives me insight into my potential futures, and children still at home. One is at college, probably not for too much longer as the covid cases are climbing there, and the other is a May graduate in a STEM field who cannot find work, though maybe he will get lucky today - he has an interview!
I have been a longtime lurker, and this board has helped me tremendously. Your stories, your knowledge, your insights - all tremendous! Thank you all!!!
And for any of you on the fence, if you can pull it off financially and you have confidence in your health insurance plan, Go For It! Retirement is wonderful, and you never know how many good years you'll get.
