“It doesn’t work out, Aldric. Trust me. It does not.”
This was her first recommendation to me. It was not a direct one. It was a push-back against conventional advice.
I asked why.
I mean, I must. I see many retirees in their late 50s and early 60s working part-time. They tell me that it helps them pass their time.
“Do you believe them, Aldric? Is it really about passing their time?”
I have spoken to many real retirees before. Their life experiences differ from the media, online articles, and financial magazines.
