Quoted from o-din:

In my line of work as an auto tech, early on I tried to stay at the same place as long as I could until I found out there is no loyalty. They will hire somebody to do it cheaper, or cut into the technician's earnings to satisfy their own greed
.

I can identify with this. I worked at the same employer over 30 years. Then came a change of ownership. It became clear that they wanted me out for cheaper staff, but were quite happy for me to train said staff but didn't want to pay me to do it. So 1 year to the day I gave my month's notice in.
So fast forward 12 months and despite a global pandemic, the last year has been the best of my life. Because it is MY life now, they did me a favour.

Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:

For those who worry about staying busy during retirement, you will have a few days each month where you may be bored out of your mind but it sure beats having to work that 8 to 5 grind.

Just shows that we are all different, I have not had one day of boredom even in a pandemic.
Anything beats that 8 to 5 grind, so true.

Quoted from JethroP:

Problem with retirement is there are no more vacations or days off to plan for.

So wrong. EVERY day is a holiday.
