after 6 years of roasting in the furnaces of hell where i worked, i left my employer high and dry. bastards have been showing me the carrot, then hitting me over the head with the stick the entire time. fuckers are whining "why won't you work out a notice?" i'm saying "if you were going to fire me, would i get 2 weeks notice from YOU? no?" so i fired the bastards, lol. gonna start drawing my SS in September (8 weeks of waiting gets me nearly $200 a month more than starting now.) still gonna have to work part-time, but i don't think either my wife nor myself could stand it with me puttering around underfoot all day. so, as the saying goes, here starts the rest (hopefully best) part of my life. plus, i'll be available to spend more time on here irritating fools...

I'm starting to think retirement. So nearly went to live by the sea in a tourist and retirement based town this month. I thought I could sling pizza for 6 months of the year. My needs are so few, I just need a roof, car, broadband and a percy tent.

I would of gone, but rising sea levels on that coast are going to take it in the next 30 years

I'm 65, but have been retired for 16 years........... I'd much rather make money with my hobby than work for a living, and I do.

Good on ya AOH - life is too short to waste it on doing stuff you detest - if you can avoid it - so long as you have enough to get by - and enjoy your quality of life - that's what matters -

Dude, you know what you get in a town full of tourists and old people?
Tourists and old people.

You will never, AND THE BIG BAD TEE MEANS EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVER! ..Last 30 years in one slinging pizzas.. And I'm not putting you down there, I'm saying no man can do it, it is impossible. It will drive you insane. Don't care what country it is, if it's a rich or a poor place, or how sweet the beaches are and how beautiful the sunsets might look. There will be boredom, and sooner rather than later.

The beach is the beach every day, it's fine for a week or two. But then what else is there? Tourists and old people? Fucking bars that play Bob Marley songs all day, the same 10 hit songs on a loop?
Sunday Funday where drinks are -50%? And then what? Guess you could go diving or something, but that will cost you money and the tourists will be there too. Surfing? Better hope it's not a surfer town, 'cause surfers are the worst. Sorry surfers, but you kinda suck., most of you anyways. Same with most snowboarders, you pampered scumbags. Learn to skateboard! Then you don't have to travel across the world with daddy's money. YEA I SAID IT!

And you know many tourists will fuck with your head at 2am drunk ordering pizza, forgot their wallet at the hotel, or it's lost, or they didn't get enough cheese on their pizza, or they got the wrong order? And old people, you're gonna hear stories about melanomas and bad back pains, grandkids and complaints about the drunk tourists, too. Every single god damn day while working a pizza oven in a already warm location. Hope you have AC. And AC/DC to drown out the complaints of the old people.

So yea, in 30 years the sea is gonna take the town.. That's not like a timer that has 5 seconds left on it, 'cause it has 30 years. That's not a reason to not to go.
What I just said is. And you can boo me all you want, I don't care. You know I'm right.

And yea, I never slang pizza, but I lived in a similar town for a while.
Then I moved 'cause fuck that shit!

30 months, if you last 30 months there, you have nerves and balls of steel!
Also getting drunk helps. Weed, maybe.. Depends on the weed.

But 30 years. NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

Been there, done that, not doing it again tomorrow.
30 years.. The horror! The horror!

You might think you are right, but I don't think many would retire into a house that was going to wash away before they died. We work all our lives until we are secure enough to stop. That's just not secure.

I have worked in customer service all my life. I know exactly what it is. I'm not sure what your expectations of me are, but that's what I do. I can do it in a city or somewhere people in the city save up to go. As for old people, what do you think retired people are. I am the old people. A small resort who's population triple in summer, offers anonymity. It's all about entertainment. Food. Clubs. However... how much do you think the average stoner leaves the house anyway. I just want a few cheap carveries.

Give me decent broadband and a job to keep me regular and I'm done. No snowboarding. Certainly no skateboarding. No sports. No pubs. I don't want to do any of the things you appear interested in.

What I really really like, is being left alone.
