If Cliff wants to retire maybe he needs a new hobby or do some volunteer work to keep himself feeling useful. My Dad took up geocaching and now he is hardly ever home. Always on the go and hiking and moving and taking trips etc.. Of course he is a little bit obsessed with it too!Adirondackcountrygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08647770774053345725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-67604462752797636842011-06-25T19:05:38.591-05:002011-06-25T19:05:38.591-05:00Can he go down to a couple days a week instead of ...Can he go down to a couple days a week instead of full time?

And the security of a paycheck is something he doesn't want to lose. So in a way, Cliff must be a little scared of losing his routine too. I hope it all works out. It will be an adventure.

I believe Cliff is older than I am but just like he...I now think maybe I will work longer than one more year. Sister should talk...she stayed at that chicken plant job until she was 68..how she did it I do not know...so I think I can sure hang on a little above 62 which I will reach next year. If I could have affordable insurance..........I would retire.....TODAY!Galla Creekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15765021266883258286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-33012998494934717102011-06-24T11:56:24.264-05:002011-06-24T11:56:24.264-05:00It is scary(not that I'll ever get a chance to...It is scary(not that I'll ever get a chance to retire);I would imagine that Cliff is used to a routine and a schedule, plus the security of a paycheck. My dad had no issues adjusting to retirement although he drove my mom nuts at first. It may take some time for him to figure out a new routine. :) SO glad that your knee is doing so well and that your energy level is good.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17197599882756386184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-13123645966454696192011-06-24T09:35:22.515-05:002011-06-24T09:35:22.515-05:00Retirement is a funny thing...specially for men......Retirement is a funny thing...specially for men...hubby had open heart surgery 12 years ago...did quite well...no medical problems...just doing what he is supposed to do...has worked all his life...and seemed to enjoy it all....and then he retired...it was a sad sorry day he did...he has taken retirement to a new or low level...his best friend is his lazyboy chair...the tv remote...and the fridge...and not in that order...he has RETIRED!!!!
