Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I am late 50s and hubby still works (mid 60s). I have been retired for just over a year. It was not my choice. Now my former employer has given me an offer for a temporary part time gig that will last until the end of the year (at least). The hours are 25-30 a week. I would prefer 8-16.
I have grown to like retirement and a very slow pace. I'm not sure how I will be able to adapt. It has been tough to get the stuff I need to done, but that could be due to a touch of depression.
Anyone have experience with this? What was your thought process. I need to give them an answer next week. The money is good, but the social aspect and mental challenge are more attractive to me.
TIA!
This may be worth looking into and possibly discussing with your doctor.(bold section added)
Can you find ways of getting some social/mental challenges outside of work?
If not, you can always return to work, and if not what you want, re retire!
I was asked to come back, did one shift and said "no way". I enjoy my "me" time too much.
