I retired last Halloween after 32+ years with Uncle Sam between my time in uniform and as a civilian. Started delivering pizzas as a part-time gig recently for extra "hobby" money and to help stay busy. I enjoy the fact that if they pizz me off I can say "bu-bye" and walk out without worrying about paying the light bill.

just my luck; the way things always go etc. I'm definitely a glass half empty person, because I rarely encounter any sort of good luck. I"m usually just standing by for the next shoe to drop / the next catastrophic money suck
Over the last 15-20 years my skillset has become heavily contract based. Companies are more likely these days to contract out my work when they have a project - keep them for the duration of the project and as soon as the billable work dries up / not earning revenue for my hourly cost/billable rate.....adios. so, every 2 years or so, I'm let go and i have to find another gig which sucks, from a budget standpoint. Income swings up and down every few years. longest I've been with a place since 2003 is probably 4 years. Average about 2-3 years per spot. largest income swing in the wrong direction was 45%, which then led to losing a house etc. Horrible. Granted, that was in 2008/2009 when the economy was dog shit, but still. Mostly I see income swings around 20-25% up and down. my industry is nomadic; good for young folks who have no problem going to where the work is. But for me, I'm pretty much rooted in KC.

I already leveled with the fact that I'll probably work until I can't anymore. I absolutely DREAD the day I sit at home all day not showering and brushing my teeth to only stare at Judge Judy, Maury and Jerry every day.
My goal used to be not to HAVE to work by 40. Could probably pull it off by downgrading a lot, but I've since changed that. It's also allowed me to think about more risks as far as investments and self/employment type shit. Going to work until I die. |

I hate my job and hate whatever it was that I did that led me to where I am in life. I feel stuck where I’m at, hating what I am doing, but making more money than what I did using my BA’s....but hate what I do and the type of people I’m around. It’s making me bitter.
Most BA degrees are a straight up scam. Sorry to be a downer....just being honest. |

I didn't see the "I love my job but it's about to be swallowed by Disney" option?

I've had the same job for 8 of last 9 years. I got laid off by a jackass of an interim president (I'm a librarian at a small college), but because I didn't find anything else during that year off, came back when I was offered my old job back. The pay could be better, but I have decent insurance, lots of vacation (about 30 days per year, including the holidays), low stress work most of the time, and I truly enjoy the people I work with in the library, and elsewhere on campus. That being said, I can also leave my work at work when I'm not on campus...so I can have a life outside of work.
