I had a forced retirement at 53 from an accident. 3 years later hubby retired (last year) at 58 for him.
We LOVE living here and 'retirement' life.
Our retirement financial plans are well in place...
Tho they did take a huge hit from the slowing economy.
But do miss a bit of separateness, and doing some separate things.
Too much togetherness leaves us nothing new to talk about.
So we both plan to look for a part-time, low stress job that will satisfy some interests and that we will enjoy doing.
And maybe offset some of our our health insurance costs
We're still young and mentally feel like we are playing hooky anyway...
And feel we will still have plenty of play time...
