[quote=Anonymous]Boy, could I have written this! I'm 55-- I took the VERA and I've made peace with it. But it is hard. Just like you, I was such the golden child . . . but I did prioritize kids over career. I planned to really hit my career into high gear after my kids left home. I planned to work for at least another 10 years. Instead, I felt like I had to take VERA for my own sanity/health and because I really hope/hoped my exit would perhaps save someone younger and without the VERA option from getting laid off. Anyway, I absolutely relate to topping out in your career before you planned. I'm hoping that with retirement I'll throw my weight into service to my community and find peace with that. I hope the same for you. PS-- My mantra is "You are enough." [/quote]
