[quote=Anonymous]I'm 54 and have worked full time and been a SAHM. I prefer working, but would love it if I could reduce to 50%. Work keeps me sharp, young, and feeling relevant. If you can find and commit to high levels of volunteering or consulting, you might feel the same effect, but it's very, very easy to end up with too much time on your hands or a lot of monotony, which can aggravate feelings of depression and anxiety (so common for peri and post menopausal women). Even though you are set financially, it's good to have backup to employer provided healthcare--that was a financial consideration with an old DH. Ageism is no myth when it comes to who's first for a layoff. [/quote]
