In terminating me they were able to save 8 months of partial salary but had to pay 4 months up front. That actually helped my pension which I commenced 1 year later.
While that first year of no job was tough mentally, once I started my pension I said screw the job search and decided to enjoy being retired. Which I do, immensely.........I'm having more fun "playing" than when I was a kid. Softball 4 mornings a week with other "seniors", trips to the gym, not having to fight 45 minutes of bumper to bumper drive times.......
Work is over rated and I don't miss it one bit.......
Thank you for your prayers.
I’m glad things worked out for you, and am very happy you are enjoying your retirement. People don’t realize how fortunate they are to enjoy it. My dad waited too long to retire. He was 70 when he hurt his foot at work (three fractures) and this is not a good prognosis for someone with diabetes. While he was at home nursing his foot he fell and fractured his femur near the hip joint, so he was wheelchair bound for several months. His hip healed very well, but his foot didn’t. So I’m glad you can appreciate your free time.
