Just found this forum last weekend and am loving it!
I just turned 59, still working in my late husbands family's business. I am not an owner but am one of the holder's of our business license. If I retire someone else will have to take the licensing exam and none of the owners wants to do that. My current husband is 62 and recently retired. It is getting harder and harder for me to go to work everyday but haven't gotten up the courage to bring up the subject of my retirement with the family. My husband and I are financially able for me to retire so I just need to find the "courage" to do it. I really have no idea how they will react and it really is an emotionally charged issue for me.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation.
