wow what a fun thread to read, how everyone handled their working life and walk into retiring. very interesting!!
OP, I get ya. My Dad was a workaholic. Loved to be productive. When he retired at about 62 he went onto tons of part time jobs. He loved doing that. Time for free time and travel with Mom and PT work to keep him moving. He was a 'never stop type person'.
Me and hubby. We are working on early retirement right now. I am 54 and hubby is 50. I am selling big land right now (being our farming days are over) and when that money comes in, we are setting up for him to quit the big job he does and go into PT work or whatever.
We are done. We are in a full lifestyle change and want it to come sooner than later :) We have hobbies. Kayak, all fishing from surf to lakes to trout streams, hiking up mountains, swimming, biking and dog walking long ways just to move. We always have something of interest for us at any given time but my Dad never had that and work was his outlet.
Do what feels right. part time easy work. Just live the day :) Everything never has to be totally planned out, winging it thru how your life changes is fine. We stumble onto something that works for all of us!!
