Many Retirees Decide To Return To Work

Business owners, we tried to retire in our 40's - lasted 2 months. Thank God, we didn't sell. Took back management, still working, not hard and not full time. Have others to do that.
Might sell in next few years, we get have too much fun doing what we do. Can believe we get paid for what we do and neither can others. ;)
 
I'm newly registered and not quite retired yet. Telling my wife that I'll retire next spring, but she doesn't believe I'll go much beyond my 62nd birthday in July of this year.

I am considering an offer to mow part time on a golf course near by...some money, but more importantly free green fees.
 
I had no problem adjusting to retirement. Planned early retirement at age 55 but managed to beat that goal & retired at age 54. Part of retirement planning included what to do with the hours awake, that was 24 years ago.


What fills the hours awake? Anything we feel like doing.
 
I have a friend that retired but because he couldn't keep himself busy enough, he couldn't stand it and went back to work. He's in his 70's and still working and it's at night too. He is so happy!
 
if you own a business that you love, doesn't feel like work, have good employees who can handle the business while one is off seeing the world. You don't retire. We have something to sell - a business. We tried retirement in our 40's and 50's, hiring people who we thought could run it. haha No one cares about a business like the owner. We don't work as many hours as we use (maybe 20) to but we still have something to keep us creative and our brains working. Plus we'd miss those people who we've been doing business with for decades.
I can't imagine being in a position where I count down the days till "I'm out of here." Not everyone is shackled to working for someone other than themselves.
 
Well, the neighbour down the road was over the other day and told me he has returned to the "work force." He is now a greeter at Wal Mart. He also told me they are looking for retired folk. I'm thinking about it. Of course, the job I'd be perfectly suited for would be a shopping cart supervisor. I could just see me now...

"Hey, Bert...There's a cart blocking traffic in Isle three. Go and move it."

"Well, Doug, I would but my arthritis is kinda bad today and last time you sent me to Isle three I got lost."

"Here's a GPS for you...Now go get the cart!"

"How do you operate it?"

"Gee, Bert, Ill go myself! Which way's Isle three?"

Maybe I'll pass on the Wal Mart thing.....Think I'll look around for a job as a crossing guard.
