[quote=Anonymous]I just returned to work at 59 after being a SAHM and caregiver for the last 27 years.  I have been very privileged to travel when I want and spend freely and volunteer - I’ve done some wonderful  things, and enjoyed the freedom.  But when my husband recently returned to the office a few days a week and my kids are launched and parents and in laws are gone I realized I wanted my own thing to do - and honestly my own money.  Not working and no real purpose with kids and parents gone is pretty boring a lot if the time.  There is only so much yoga, tennis. lunching and shopping to do.  Days are long when your biggest responsibilities are making dinner and walking the dog.   I love my job and paycheck.  I love interacting with co workers I enjoy and interesting projects.  Granted my job is not high powered or stressful but pay is good and I am so thankful to have it.  I suppose the grass is always greener… but I needed more purpose than pickleball and book club and gardening and chit chat. [/quote]
