Being semi retired during the last few months I have had some time to ponder the world of work as it compares to the state of retirement. After I short while the most obvious observation that I made was that retirement is great. I have great difficulty understanding people who say that if they were retired they would be bored. Broke,yes; bored, not a chance. One of the major disadvantages of working is that it takes up so much of your time and energy. This fact may not seem so obvious if you are still in your twenties and thirties and you still have plenty of energy left after putting in your eight to ten hours per day at the salt mine. Once you hit your fifties and beyond, however, energy is now at a premium and you start to realize that time is not on your side no matter what the Rolling Stones may try to tell you.
