Who remembers this?

I’m think only we can appreciate this thought.

It will never be the same again

Soon, very soon. This is the view across the dirt road at my country home.
Sign me up 😉
Same feeling here — 50s is a hard decade with kids in school and trying to save for retirement
I wish there was a way to stay engaged but take a path to gradually ramp down towards retirement. We all have valuable experience to share but I personally don’t want to compete with the younger folks who are aggressively seeking promotions etc. Unfortunately, I don’t think we can be honest about this idea, especially now.
Totally agree
Take me please. 😞
You are not alone. 30+ years of working and mostly trying to fix the same problems. I’m exhausted. Grateful to have a choice, at least for right now, but wish I could do something else sooner.
I’m ready. Been working since I was 14.

Oh man... my retirement can’t come soon enough. A winery with a gun repair shop and an awesome PC gaming rig. Yes my friends, I am GenX.
I just did that very thing. Leaving Chicago for a beautiful home in the country. So happy! If you want it, do it.
I feel the same. The only obstacle is healthcare benefits, else I’d walk tomorrow.
