Six Reasons Why You Should Never Retire. Gee, prepping America for the inevitable?

[marlakay]

10. I talked my husband into retiring early

Because he was so angry from commuting and parts of his job. That was 2005. I thought move from the city to the mountains with nice house, peace and quiet, should be wonderful....

If I had known about the economy, how part time jobs would be hard to find or keep, if I knew that my husband who had all these ideas of hobbies would just sit doing nothing every day....I would have kept working.

I worked year round first 4 years we were here and now I have a seasonal job working in the office of our summer and winter play productions. So I work 5 months a year, I like it. I go to the gym, I belong to a bookclub and a hiking club, and do some volunteer work.

My husband does yard work in the summer for 3 months and if I kick his buns will get the snow off the driveway.

I finally got him to see a counselor for depression starting last month. I am super hoping she tells him to get a life! I keep telling him to do a hobby any hobby.

That beyond money is why you should stay working unless you have a full life outside work.
