One of my long time customers retired in February, he could not wait to get out of the workforce. At 63 he retired and went home.
I seen him yesterday at his old workplace, he told me he was trying to get his job back. I about fell over when he said that. He hated that place so bad and wanted out, I heard that for 15 years from him.
He said he can't afford the Cobra insurance as it was 600.00 per month plus he bought a new F150 and the payment on that was 600.00 per month and that left him 200.00 a month for everything else. He said they will hire him back but he has to pay Social Security back for the two months he drawed it. I wont be critical on him or his decisions, I needed to see and hear this as a learning experience.
I don't want to be the guy that lingers on in the workforce till I am too gimped up to enjoy retirement and end up dying on the couch at home. My grandpa and my dad always told me "Dont work your life away son, it aint worth it". Reckon I can see what they are a saying, I never truly understood it till now. Plan out your retirement.
