I'm happy for you @San Antonio Gal. I wish I could go back to work. I had to go on disability when I was just 47. I miss my work very much. Good luck with going back to yours!

eta - I'm 63 now so it's been a while.

I've noticed a distinct difference in work ethics in younger employees, all you can do lead by example imo.

@San Antonio Gal CONGRATULATIONS, and good luck!

I'm 57; I worked in the marketing and research industry for over two decades. Then I totally flipped the switch and for the last decade I've been in acquisitions and contract regulations. Never the same day twice. It can get quite stressful and hectic, but I love working hard, and the learning is never-ending. I cannot imagine not working......well, sometimes I can, but I really love my job.

I retired from a nice cushy office job in hospital administration, but would rather scrub toilets or pick up roadside trash than return to work!

No adivce, but wanted to say Good Luck to you and I hope you enjoy being back full time.

I was a stay at home mom for several years then decided to go to graduate school then get a full time job. Sometimes I miss being home and having a flexible schedule, but the pay check is a great incentive!

Guess my thoughts/advice based on my experiences would be to try to make time for yourself each week and try not to get caught up in workplace drama. Best of luck to you. 😊

As long as you enjoy working and Are happy doing what you are doing, I think going back to work is wonderful. You are still young.

It is much healthier to keep your mind and body active. It also doesn't hurt to build up more Social Security income. It will be appreciated when you are old enough to collect.

You should be happy that you have a choice, Some poor souls have to work forever in order to support themselves.

My DH retired at age 60. He was so bored, so he now works part time, but his hours have been increasing into almost full time. He keeps promising that he is going to retire for real, but he really enjoys his job and I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Congratulations
