retirement...in a very simple term.......sucks.....its better to work part time...mind you if the job is hell...its better to leave...but if you still have joy in the job......pt is a better choise....all the fishing,hunting,golfing,puttering in the shop..cutting grass/pushing snow..rv road trips....and honey do list...in my 1.5 cents it does not = real work ......but then my only addiction was a good 12 to 16 hr days work.....
