Retired

[kay7]

I retired 4 years ago due to health issues and I'm very happy I did.  I'm grateful that I was able to do it and like being retired very much.  I just wish we felt better and were able to really enjoy it.

Retired from what?  If you are truly passionate about what you do and it is positively productive, why retire? I am, so I'll die doing what I love.

The idea of retiring and then going back is not my idea of fun.  I retired in 2003 and has never wanted to work for anyone else.  Fed up with dealing with all the nasty personalities.

I wonder how many people are actually "passionate" about their occupation.  I am not.  That would make an interesting post in it's own right.

I've sort of retired    Don't have to report to anyone for anything, but looking for something I can do to supplement my SS and give me some accountability.  FC does help.

I say I'm retired, with a laugh!!  I keep grandkids all week and although I love them to death, that is not why I retired!  If I had known retirement would be like this I honestly believe I would have kept working.  Our SS is not enough for us to live comfortably on so my husband works 3 days a week to make enough for groceries and gas but I'm tied down with the grandkids and can't even make money working part time.  The 2 daughters' kids I keep can't afford to pay me although one of them does have me on her cellphone plan and pays my part; about $50 a month.  But, hey that's better than nothing.  The other daughter can't even afford any amount as she is divorced now with 2 kids to support on her own.  Like I said I love them all and feel guilty when I complain but that's just how I feel.  I feel like I could be a lot more productive than I am sitting at home 5 days a week.  Guess feeling like that comes from working for 46 years before I retired.  lol  The money I make here on FC does help out some too.
