gulp!

I'll be retiring in 3 years as I get a bigger superannuation payout & pension if I leave at 55 than I would if I stayed on. The thougth of retirement is very scary as I'm very good at isolating & my place is not the easiest for anyone to just drop in. I will need a part-time job to keep sane.

We were offered retrenchments recently & I never even considered one, but several colleagues of a similar age jumped at the chance of getting out. Coupla young colleagues also grabbed the money & jumped.

Brett, it's a big decision.
