I am thoroughly enjoying retirement here in the Villages. I worked from age 10 (picking cherries and babysitting). until age 62 with no time off. I had a fabulous job for 30 yrs plus others before that. I loved my job but have never looked back after moving here. I have not had a chance to miss it. I volunteer for several organizations of my choosing and expertise and I do sewing. I also play golf and go to exercise classes. I love what I do every day. I hope I never have to give it up. We saved all of our lives for comfort at this time.
As was mentioned, each to his own.
I probably would not have been ready for this at age 50 though. and I could not have moved away from the family at that time.
There is a time for everything in our lives.
