I worked full time for over 49 years, much of it physical and outside. The last few years they threw some kids at me, tried to make me obsolete. It was funny except for them giving more money and time off to the kids, one of them anyway. Stress ensued. I would have quit @62 except Mrs. John lost her job and we got evicted so the landlady could sell the house. Ended up staying on the job until 65. They asked me to stay and offered money, etc. No, thanks.
It sucks not having money to buy new bikes and stuff but so far, it's worth it.
