[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My only reference point for this is Covid, when my industry was hit hard. I was given a 6 month furlough in April 2020, meaning I would probably not have a job in October. It was my first real break from full time work in 25 years, except for 2 maternity leaves. I thought I would be bored. It was amazing. I spent more time with my then tween/teen children. I walked. I read. I cooked. I did home improvements. I talked to people on the phone. I also didn’t have the stress of pretending to work or thinking about my job, which I didn’t love but was a “good one”. I found another job in October 2020 at a different company and have been employed ever since. But it gave me a taste of what retirement might be like, and it’s not scary. It was amazing! [/quote] A six month break with kids around the house is completely different than 30 years of this without anyone but potentially a spouse in the house. [/quote]
