Country:  | I Got a Job! Early Retirement.....Done!
Thought I had it made. Retired from Verizon Communications 22 months ago at the tender age of 57; watched the wife go to work every day (why not, she's younger than me).
Well, I start Monday for an Audi, Porsche, Land Rover dealership delivering auto parts all over Monmouth and Ocean counties in NJ. It's good, mindless work and the pay ain't bad.
My wife said if Charles can work at the age of 74, I got no excuse not to work at 59 (Thanks Charles, it's all your fault  ).
I do have one chance left to stay retired. They're doing a background check/drug screening on me. With any luck.....

Country: | Good for you. Work is good for the head. Keeps you out of trouble and brings a buck or two into the kitty.
Enjoy the new job. Sounds like a good one. | |
