Retirement - when to take that step (leap?)

--- Quote from: EPAIII on March 24, 2024, 08:05:59 am ---I was 66 or 67 and was called into a small room with the CEO, the personnel person, and my boss. I knew what was going to happen before a single word was spoken. I didn't "take the leap", they tossed me out.
OK, to be fair, I knew it was coming and they were as nice as they could be about it. And I got a nice severance payment. So I really can't complain.

Well, that should have been basically OK. You were at the normal retirement age anyway. I don't know that many people who were able to work to 65 or so before a major market downturn lead to them being tossed out, a few years before they were financially prepared. Governments are starting to push up the standard retirement age, for very good reasons, but how many people get to continue to work in their career until that date?

The sign on the square where the video says: Video unavailable. :wtf:

The song "Mr. Bones" is by the artist Steve Strauss and i have it on the CD "Closer to the music" by Stockfish Records. It's easy to find on youtube. Sometimes arts can provide new insights.
In the Leipzig book fair a book about "Radical Universalism" by Omri Boehm won a price last week. I think universalism also means that we should retire in respect for the next generation - in an orderly fashion as far as possible.
