Retirement!! I wanted to work forever. I liked my job, liked those I worked with, but management decided to relocate, downsize and I no longer had a job. My first step was to continue with my Bachelor's Degree. This kept me busy, but getting a job was also important. I got a part time job and started to look for permanent work.
It didn't take long and I was a full time employee again, got my degree, and was ready to take on the world. Oh, I was over 50, I would get interviews, but most didn't expect an older person. They were interested, impressed with my resume, but not my age. I found a full time job in the same field as I previously worked, but after 2 years I was no longer happy there and left. I tried 2-3 other jobs, different fields, then decided to retire at 60. Enough, you don't want to hear more, I'm sure.
Since retirement I have tried different things. How can time go by so fast just because you're retired? Many think if you're retired you have so much time, can do whatever you want. Little do they know you have less time, less money and everything takes abit longer to do. All your life you had schedules, kids, work, and now you still had those things, but you can choose what you want to do when you want to do it for the most part.
