I'm in a field where ageism is rife and it's unlikely I'd ever find a good job again after a break. So its grind forward, step away, or eat a lot of humble pie after a break.

What nobody tells you is staying busy and happy and fulfilled takes a lot of work. I wasn’t happy once my kids were grown, parents died and husband returned to the office. Lunching, Yoga, pickleball and travel got old and having my life’s purpose on most days being making dinner walking the dog was honestly depressing. I couldn’t imagine doing just that and volunteering for 30 more years. I love the structure and camaraderie of work and the paycheck. My job is not high stress but it’s interesting. I’d like to work til 65-67. Just my perspective - and we have a little over 5 mil now.
