Of course I’m posting of behalf of a friend…Most here will know I rarely post anything very serious, but here goes…
Anyway, this friend of mine has a dilemma. He’s 65 and could retire anytime. He doesn’t have to, and in fact keeps being incentivised to stay, but he’s had enough, and wants to retire. However, it
is, or was anyway, a wee bit functional of his wife continuing to work for a few more years. She’s 6 years younger than him. The wild card in here is that she has recently discovered that she has an incurable medical condition that will mean she has to give up her quite well paid job. It may or may not be life threatening, but the prognosis is not good.
He has asked me what I think he should do.
My view is that we all only get one kick of life’s ball and that they should just have some fun together while time and fitness to have it allows. He’s struggling with that thought a bit, as it might cause some challenging changes to their long term prosperity.
In this strange online place where one has friends that we don’t actually know, it feels like a good place to ask for opinions or indeed criticism.
Thanks!
(I think) ;-)
