02Sled Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 try and send my wife out to work... she has this crazy idea that she can be retired now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dweese Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 try and send my wife out to work.... I tried that with my ex-wife about 8 years ago. And that's why she is my ex-wife. Found a job and a new man to pay for things at the sametime. So I bought a new motorcycle and a seld... I think I got the better deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife was given a package back in July as part of a restructure... she likes freedom 55 and I told her she could have it if she gave up her horse and her truck.... she isn't buying into that program so she needs to go back to work at some point and seems to be reluctantly accepting it. Me... I'm stupid. I like what I do and enjoy going to work. I am not mentally ready to retire and can see myself going until I hit 70. My plan is to re-evaluate myself at 60, 65 and 70. Heck we have one volunteer with the club who is supposed to be retired. He does so much I told him if he represents what retirement is like, I'll keep working.

02Sled Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Yukon? No.. Yukon does a lot for the club and I have no idea how he does it, he puts the energizer bunny to shame but Bud Knowles is allegedly retired from the working world and he seems to be constantly doing work for the club. I am sure we wouldn't have our groomer building up today if not for all he has done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasquatch777 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I retired early but my theory was I'd rather retire early and live to regret it then retire late and die regretting it. Its a big change and there is less money but the lack of politics that was the working environment has reduced my stress levels to a minimum!

Everyone is different and you obviously made the right choice for your Congrats. I have lost touch with him but knew a person who worked in corp. banking on Bay St... made huge $'s but worked long hours for it. He woke up one day and made a change for quality of life when he realized he was missing his kids growing up and so much more. Traded it in to work as a Provincial Park Superintendent in the summer months and at a local ski resort in the winter months and a lot less money. Asked if he would go back to the old life... when hell freezes over. He does his paperwork under a pine tree in the summer, goes to his lakefront home at the end of the day for a swim with his kids and dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techdenis007 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Small Engine mechanic. Previously Auto mech, Truck & Coach (interprovincial certified), Heavy Equipment. It's the least paying of all the jobs, but the funnest & easiest on my worn out corpse. My herniated disc reminds me every day of how not to work. Wife works part time at the schools, it's a big help. She was helping out lots when the Dodge shop was cutting back my hours due to lack of work.
