Never had that problem. I’ve had a job since age 13 and I’m now 64. Thanks to the good lord I’ve never been unemployed.

I was fortunate to work full time until 69. I cut back to five days a week when I turned 65. People didn't like the answer when they asked how I could afford a GTX.

Look at it as part of life and enjoy it. One day, if you're lucky, you can retire and do whatever you want all day, every day. Until then,

For years I rotated Saturdays with my brother in our shop.
After we retired / sold the place I tried to stay busy around home ect.
That lasted for 8 months . I went back to work part time for a wholesale car auction, 25 to 30 hrs per week.
No Saturdays

[Fran Blacker]

Worked 4 days on 4 days off most of the time for the last 25 years before retiring. Liked the schedule but working 3 weekends in a row was a pain. Working Saturday and Sunday and sunny out. Then your off weekends Rain ARG had that happen.

My last 26 years before I retired, I worked in a climate controlled inspection lab in an auto parts plant. I worked straight days, with occassional Saturday overtime. As a skilled tradesman, I was earning the same as toolmakers, mechanics, etc. It was the best job I ever had. There were only 2 of us in the department. Half of the job was was dimensionally inspecting tooling used in the factory presses to form powdered metal parts. The other half of the work was repairing, maintaining and calibrating all the production gauging in the factory. I preferred the latter, and my co-worker liked the former. It worked out very well. I have been retired almost 13 years, and that is great, too.
