What's your age? How did you manage transition from going full time to contractor to retirement?
- k310 2y agoI am 75 now. Honestly, contracting jobs were part-time at best, so work just wound down. My wife at the time was a Registered Nurse (you want to talk about job security?) and 5 years younger, so she never understood how hard it was to be an older techie without a big network. She filed for divorce and I'll say more to matt_s in this thread about what to do or not do in retirement as I collect my thoughts. Divorce is not helpful, but I started collecting Social Security, and then we got separate places just before and after the home sold. Kind of a rough landing.
