I'm sorry to hear about your bad fortune. Two things stick out: You're 62 years old, an age where most folks are at least thinking about retiring. And it sounds like you don't think you can continue to do the same sort of work you were doing at your old job. I think you need to step back and think long and hard about your plans for the next five, ten and twenty years.

Since you've been working for over forty years, you should have something coming to you in the way of a pension, 401k or IRA. With Social Security, will that be enough to maintain your current lifestyle? If not, you will have to either go back to work or change your lifestyle. Even if you do go back to work, you might still not have enough coming in to continue living the way you are today.

Maybe it's time to downsize your life. Do you have property or possessions that aren't bringing in money and from which you aren't getting any enjoyment? Time to get rid of them. Horses, boats and big houses come to mind. Are you maybe supporting family members who should be taking care of themselves? You have to take care of Number One, so start breaking plates. Focus on the things in your life that bring you joy, and dump the things that bring you aggravation.

If you feel like working, then do so. But don't think you have to do the same sort of work you did in the past. Find something with a little less stress, even if it means less money. Someone mentioned working at a big-box hardware store; a fellow I worked with retired after 35 years in a high-stress job and went straight to work at HD. He loves his job! Find work that you enjoy; there are plenty of jobs these days so there's no need to take one you don't like.

Good luck.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
