I think it's sad that so many people want to retire at an early age. Never understood able bodied people who didn't like to work.
I’ve got a relation by marriage who retired and began hitting the bottle harder than ever. It’s not pretty.
I retired 1 1/2 years ago from a very high stress job. Hubby had been retired for 7 yrs by then. Couple of reasons I retired early. Had set ourselves up so We didn’t need the money anymore and I wanted to enjoy life. Am doing that right now while I sit on our 40 ft sailboat and have breakfast and coffee waiting for what will be a beautiful day.
I have enjoyed every single day that I haven’t had to get up and go to work anymore.
If I wasn’t retired I couldn’t do the greatest job of my life in coaching HS baseball.
I agree with you...WORK also does a body good!
