But when I did the math, it just made more sense to retire plus take the money.
I was really, definitely fortunate to get that early retirement offer. In retrospect it was such a life bonus that I so wasn’t expecting. But at the time, I was sort of put off because I was essentially being bought out. I’d worked strenuous inside the commercial Heating and A/C of that office for more than 35 years plus quickly, I’m hauled into the huge bosses office. I’d only been in there a few times as it was in a odd office building some 3 hours away from the office I worked in. Her office was plush plus came with its own thermostat. The view was spectacular however I had little time to care about it as I was trying to process what was happening. The boss started off with all kinds of praise of a job well done plus all that. That’s when I started perspiring a bit inside that zone controlled Heating and A/C. It didn’t take long before she got to the part that she wanted to offer myself and others early retirement. Had I not taken the offer, I would have to be reassigned to another position plus take a huge spend money cut. The early retirement offer meant that there’d be about a 10 percent loss on the payout of my retirement package over its entirety. But when I did the math, it just made more sense to retire plus take the money. Turns out that was the best thing that ever happened. The people I was with and I moved to the south plus I was able to care about a lot more life before I started slowing down. I’m still enjoying these afternoons however with just more residential Heating and A/C in my life. Thanks to the ductless heat pump in my sunroom, I still know appreciate I’m active plus outside all day.
