In Reply to: OT Retire at 62? posted by Plumcrazy on February 26, 2010 at 04:22:02:
My dad retired in 2004, he turns 70 this October.
He was asked to leave, with a 6month severence check, etc. But, I told him to go work on a contract with competitor of the former employer cause he didnt sign a non-compete agreement. His exact words to me were: "I am all done with that business" He was in industrial sales of pneumatic controls for 40 years. He sits home everyday, plays golf in the winter, reads a lot, no real hobbies other then golf, no wood working, no metal working, lives on a city lot so no farming or anything........he has a BS in Mech. engineeering too. Still lives in Michigan too. So he only golfs in the summer.
I would hate to see my dad waste away and spend his golden years doing nothing for 15 years.
Dont retire unless you hate what you do. You must stay at least semi-active. Maybe not full time work but stay busy.
