I’m four years out and am looking forward to it.
My current job is getting to be tough. It’s tons of travel and relatively physical. However, I don’t have the hustle and bustle of the office the article author seems to feel is so beloved. I work solely from home and the road.
I’m in a unique position at my company. But, I also have a volunteer job leading 24 men who report to me. That could easily be a full-time job as it is for some of my retired compatriots.
We have a rooftop tent camper on order and are looking forward to more outdoor adventures.
I’m also considering discussing some sort of consultancy deal with my current employer to represent them at public events, which is what I do now as an employee.
The fact you continue to work after you retire does not mean you remain in the same old rut. Post retirement work can be about creating a new and very comfortable and even fun rut.
I have now been working at my post retirement part time jobs longer than my real job.
