Yes, I am happily married, have a wonderful relationship with my daughter, am shortly going to take early retirement in a couple of weeks at 57 years old, am financially comfortable and have a lovely home, I am healthy and happy.
I’ve had rhe stereotypical big corp career, which came with many rewards but many stresses, I’m so excited to retire, people ask me all the time, but what will you do, and for fne life of me I can’t understand why it’s the first question people ask.
its like they think work is the be all and end all, that I will sit and watch tv or something, no I will get up when I please, have a leisurely coffee, go to the gym, spend as much time as I wish in there, have long showers and pamper myself, I will potter in the garden, go out for lunch, go to the cinema to see a matinee and have a glass of wine, go for day trips to different places, have many long weekends away with my husband, spend time visiting family and friends, and no one, but no one can ever tell me what to do, stress me out, or give me a deadline to work to again, my life will be my own to enjoy with those I love, doing what makes me happy.
