[quote=Anonymous]This also happened to my FIL at 55. He spent a year trying to find a full-time job in his field without success and took a commission-only sales job in another state. Unfortunately, he bought a condo there as a second home at the peak of the market. Later he sold the condo at a loss and decided to retire, to MIL’s dismay as she would be the sole breadwinner. He spent his time volunteering and taking on most of the household work. She ended up working until almost eighty to support them in retirement but they never made up the loss in retirement funds from him not working so we have subsidized their housing for years. My advice is for your dad to work whatever job he can find in order to bring money in to pay expenses and contribute towards retirement. Don’t let his pride make him retire. [/quote]
