Well what one is you?after working from the age of 15 to 67 never without work working 7days aweek most weeks and away from home I now am of the feeling most of us work or worked lived to work,which in my way of thinking is wrong we should work to live.Now at the age of 75 I go out with my wife a lot more and we love to get away at times and see what the UK can offer in the way of relaxing .
Most of my family still working one is 80 and no need to work same as the others all well off but still working.Why? you work to have a family then save for when the time comes that you pack up and start to wind down ,but in a lot of case,s it is like that some just carry on till they drop but do not have the need to work.When I had to stop work because of my legs,for the first two years I could not rest and wanted to get back to work,but this less six years that feeling is gone We do not have a lot of funding but I would not go back to work even if I was fit.In fact I feel I went on to long I still get up at all hours but I do not have to go out if I do not wish to .I have a great time now with my wife going out to see what there is around us.No boss to tell me what and when to do things and going home worn out Just eat sleep then back to work.And then you find most of your life is gone ,sorry for me that is not the right way to live.And then some of us go on to work for nothing I done that and what for ?When I was cllr it was hard work cannot do anything right for anyone you went home and could not rest because of what is said to you or about you.Now I do nothing but to be with my wife. I do not take part in anything any more do no V/work and feel a lot better for it.
