OT: Retired Igglephans

[Riccardo]

Hahaha

I should write a book too. Topics??

[Riccardo]

Walmart greeter is another sweet gig

Especially if you play it the opposite and tell people "go away", "stop shopping", "you suck", etc

Good for your dad but

Yessir, been there since 18 they had an early retirement package and he took it. Was getting sick of the commute, especially in the snow.

Which sorry for you Northeast cats, looks like more is coming your way.. ugh

I thought retiring in your 50s went out with askjeeves.com

[Riccardo]

I'll be a few months past my 58th birthday

Kinda in the same boat as old Man Big little - been with the same co. for 31+ years and was lucky to get talked into keeping the old defined benefit pension plan when they phased it out 27 years ago.

Know tons of guys who've migrated south...

and are starters/rangers at golf courses. That's what I plan on doing...work 3 days play golf the other 4

[BigSlizz]

So my dad and a lot of his teacher buddies retired between 55 and 57, and none of them could sit still.

One became a greens keeper at a golf course, and really loves it and the free golf that comes with it.

This may sound strange, but another got a gig he really likes at a funeral home, helping with parking, and getting the flags on the cars during services.

Pensions, bro. Not too much of that left.

[RSE]

My dad retired at 59 from his job as a junior high school principal on June 30 and on July 1 had started as the business manager at his golf club. He wasn't ready to retire but the school district made him a retirement offer he couldn't refuse.

My brother who still has the first dollar he earned will retire next year at 56. He and his wife made a plan and carried it out.

I'll be working until at least 65.

I quit my day job at age 25 and got into porn.

Straight, unlike Riccardo.

You talking Lancaster County? There is a big auto auction around there that is always hiring drivers. They bring the cars from the yard to the auctioneer.

[BirdBrawn]

Uber driver

[Big Little]

Yessir I like that idea as well.

Uber is a good one too, flexible hours and what not

[McCarthy12]

Yeah Manheim. Good call.

[D Leff]

Tho I've fooled with the idea of taking a job somewhere just to get fired since I've never been fired before - a bucket list item!

I agree with this idea. Or to quit in a dramatic way. I've always wanted to do this:
