[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He started affair with co worker prior to Covid in state where out of town office was located.  Apparently absence made the heart grow stronger because once lock downs were over he took his chance and left for AP.  I was shocked but then again, I know so MANY people in the midst of a COVID divorce.  Bottom line, you better like being with your significant other 24/7 (think COVID lockdowns) and if one of you could not handle that, well, you're in trouble.[/quote]

He was still working at 70 :shock: ? No thanks.[/quote]

I know plenty of people who are still working into their 70s, by choice not financial necessity. The stats are clear that retired people die at high numbers and often not long into retirement. People who stay very active and vital are more likely to enjoy longevity, and for many people work is what they are happiest being active doing - especially professionals like lawyers, doctors, accountants, writers, artists, musicians and actors, engineers, architects. There isn’t any compelling reason to just quit work entirely unless you have very big plans to stay really busy in other ways. In fact many marriages between people who retire begin to falter then, because they are stuck together 24/7 and find out they’ve been tolerating each other for decades because they had a lot of time apart to get space and pursue interests.
