I am also very sorry to read about your sad loss, Kremmen. I would like to add my condolences.

Thanks all

It wasn't a complete shock and I still have the daughter (25) living at home so I'm not abandoned. We've discussed it a few times and we both agree that the amount of pain she was in and the other conditions it's a sort of cold comfort.

Just waiting for the 'ology reports for the reason but I'm not convinced they will find anything.

Wow, it's been a tough time for the Kremmen household. So sorry to hear all this and I add my condolences. It's good you have options for the future.

Retire as soon as you can, I am into 18 years retired always busy, many things yet to do. Love cruising the Carib, just bought a fixer upper on the Gulf Coast nearly finished.

I also took early retirement. Like Jim, I don't think I could find the time to go to work, in fact. There's often day, where I don't seem to find time for lunch or breaks. I don't think there has been a single day when I wished I was still working.

I've given them 3 alternatives for next September:

1) Take my pension and work 2 days a week
2) Take my pension and work 3 days a week
3) Take my pension and goodbye
4) No 4th option, see above

I'm in a unique position of having the most business knowledge as I have worked in the industry as well as now providing business software for it. I could be wrong but I don't think the team has enough knowledge to let me totally disappear just yet and working 2 or 3 days a week for a year or 2 will keep me occupied and will top up my pension. I am finding that even working 2 days a week at home is not quite sufficient to run the house as I would like to.

My boss is going to push for option 1.

But, how much of that two days, will be spent on fuel and tax? How much will you get out of it at the end of the day?
