Been retired so long that I can't remember the date, just that I told my wife we would shut our business down or sell it by the end of that year, I think it was 2001....
The up side of retirement:
And yes, I do occasionally miss working, and have even dreamed that I was back at work again. Not quite a nightmare, but close....
The up side of retirement:
- You can sleep as long as you like
You don't have to answer to bosses, customers or some government agency that wants to keep tabs on what you're doing
You can do your shopping while everyone else is working
You can avoid going places of entertainment on weekends when they are crowded.
You can make an appointment for any time of any day without checking with anyone else.
- You still seem to wake up at the same time you did when you were working
You miss being around other people, be they bosses, customer or government agents of any type
You are shopping at the same time all other seniors are out there
You try not to ge too far from home for your entertainment
You spend far too much time in doctor's waiting rooms
And yes, I do occasionally miss working, and have even dreamed that I was back at work again. Not quite a nightmare, but close....
