Yesterday (Jan 31st) Was My Retire-versary. 26 Years And No Regrets. What About You?

I retired 15 years ago from my business but helped my husband with his business. It was fun so I didn’t look at it as work. I made ladies hair jewelry and hair forks made from different woods. Some exotic some local. It was a labour of love. When my husband closed up the shop, I stopped working too. Do I have regrets? None at all. I love being retired.
 

This is crazy I realized I've been retired for 27 not 26 years!! I can't believe it..where did the time go?!

@horseless carriage Some people feel better when they are working because they love their jobs, need to feel busy or their identities are closely tied to their jobs. Some others have jobs they don't like, or supervisors that make the crazy or have long commutes or long hours that are starting to wear them out. Or maybe have to deal with the public with not so good experiences. Yet others are working despite ill health and it becomes exhausting. There are a number of reasons some prefer to work and others do not.

@LoveTulips My sister's husband didn't want her to work, although she worked briefly during their marriage. She had that ideal life you wish you could have had. I guess my niece and nephew, as well as serving on various committees and commissions, being active in the church and with her sorority kept her busy enough.
