Me Time!

This 70yr old colleague of mine has retired but he keeps in touch with many colleagues. He is like our mentor whom we can seek advice from.

For a moment, I was wondering - wow, your company is so good to continue employing a 70year old?

:evil:

We have a colleague who is re-employed for a few years after retirement age because of his expertise. He is getting close to 70 years old but looks so young and nobody believes that he is approaching 70. We used to tease him that he loves the office so much that he prefers to stay in office than home. He is already well to do and this job is merely to keep him alert and kill time.

I would never want to work till age 70.

I have noticed that men usually would like to work as long as possible. They will feel so bored n useless if you ask them to stay at home. Its not that they need the $$$ but rather to keep their minds n bodies busy.

Whereas for us, women, its different (for me, I suppose). I would much prefer to spend my twilight years doing what I couldnt do in the past when working. It will be a more meaningful end to my stay on earth.

I agreed.
I have quite a few male colleagues after retiring, embark on another career, not for the sake of $$ as they have plenty.
I would prefer to have more ME time.

HI5. I am with you!!!!!!

So, how many more years before you can have FULL TIME ME time?

Started my ME time with a 5km run after sending DS to school. Feels so energised after morning exercise.

Am age 46 now and counting down to age 55.
I have been telling myself after age 55, I will take work easy so as to have more ME time before I regret and who knows, I may fire my boss...

DH and I figured full Me time starts only when DS is done with Uni. So, I would be 55! OMG!

Maybe we should start a new thread - FULL TIME Me Time and whoever is planning/countdown can pop in here.

We can give each other motivation to work towards this goal.
