145. Flunked Retirement 3 times

Sun Feb 24, 2013, 09:53 PM

Feb 2013

in the last 11 years. Actual retired after 54 years at the age of 63 due to a work related injury,could not do it any more to much pain and wasn't going to get strung out on pain killers. After a year and a half and suing my Employer,got the new replacement joint,and getting the Honey-Do list done,restless took over and away I go again. Still have my original Social Security Card I received in March of 1950 at the age of nine. Scary isn't it. Spent most of my career Sales,inside and outside,and Distribution. My spouse and I just plain got lucky as to our finances. With our Ira's and my Teamster Pension,hey,that and Social Security,were O.K.. What really bothers is our kids. They have nothing,suspect there are many out there seeing this same thing,they make the bills but that's about it. Work SMART time for one of those big box home centers. Just enough hours to give my spouse a mental health break,and she really needs it from me.
