Hi resurrection maybe you could consider going part
time and make the transition gradually to see how it goes?
Personally I can't wait to retire, I'm 47 but far too busy to go
to work
I look after my elderly aunt and just could not continue to
do it all. So with much trepidation I reduced to 4 days a week
in 2014, then 3 days a week in 2015.
Ive never looked back it has given me more time to do want I need
to do at home, plus I also get to join in with the church activities
more.
I dont know what the future holds, but part of me
honestly doesn't want to go back to full time secular work if I can
possibly help me.
Maybe finances will dictate that I will have to go back to full time
work at some point. But I do wonder if God has other plans in the
future.
If you go to part time work you can have the best of both worlds
for a while.
