Updated 2026. My mother passed at age 97 (2024) RIP. I will be updating this site so I can help retirees again. Write to me!
Why I retired?

just one place I visited.
The last five years of my career I had a manager I found difficult and the procedures for doing my job were becoming more stupid and time consuming every month.
When I had my 30 years in I left immediately.
I never never regretted it. I found a world of new friends at my three mornings a week swimming group, started card making classes and got into scrapbooking.
As if that was not enough I have traveled to Europe and "down under" and work out of my home office part time.
I have time for grandkids, matinee movies and coffee with friends.
Who would want to work again? Not me!
