I was ready to retire in 2008... We all know what happened then. I also lost my job, my company screwed up my COBRA and two days later my daughter came down with an illness which required a year in a hospital
Needless to say, I have little for retirement and will have to work another 20 years.
So sorry to hear that. I know you’re not alone...as so many others faced that exact situation. Hang in there....are you at least doing work that you like?
