My dad retired in 2004, he turns 70 this October.
He was asked to leave, with a 6month severence check, etc. But, I told him to go work on a contract with competitor of the former employer cause he didnt sign a non-compete agreement. His exact words to me were: "I am all done with that business" He was in industrial sales of pneumatic controls for 40 years. He sits home everyday, plays golf in the winter, reads a lot, no real hobbies other then golf, no wood working, no metal working, lives on a city lot so no farming or anything........he has a BS in Mech. engineeering too. Still lives in Michigan too. So he only golfs in the summer.
I would hate to see my dad waste away and spend his golden years doing nothing for 15 years.
