Anyone ever un-retire? - sandwedge - 01-03-2019
I have been thinking about this a lot lately. I'm soon to be 53 and don't know if I can just sit around anymore. I do enjoy teaching kids the game of golf, but this time of year it's pretty slow. It gets a little old thinking of things to do. Plus starting to put a little weight...

Not myself, but my father did. He retired from his UAW job, back in 1997 at age 51. For him, retirement lasted all of a few weeks. He couldn't stand not having anything productive to do. He took a job working 3 days per week, and loves it. We works 3 days per week, does his stuff around the house for 2 days, and has his weekends free for whatever he wants. He'll be 72 on Friday, with no signs of retiring again, any time soon.

when my grandpa retired he got a job in his passion which was golf as a ranger on a course..
I'm sure you can find something you want to do.

My wife kindly informed me I will be working until they toss me in a forever box. I gave her "the look." She returned "the look" and won that battle immediately. Damnit!

Pretty much what I am thinking of doing. I have a good friend that owns an engineering firm, that says he could use me. Not so sure of working long hours again though.

HaHaHa, funny because when I was in the Navy, I had guys tell me, I could scare them by my look. My kids tell me all the time, their friends are scared of me, but ain't even in the same league as my wife!!

Damn I can’t wait to have the luxury of being able to ***** about not having to work.

I unretired right after leaving high school. At the ripe old age of 18 I thought I could easily manage being broke forever.. Turns out I was right. I've managed to be broke for the past 40+ years with relative ease.

Not sure if it classifies as unretiring, but I retired from Active Duty Military and now work as a DOD civilian. I will say it's pretty good seeing all the things the Soldiers have to do and know it's not a requirement for me any longer.
About 5 more years and I can retire from Civil Service and that's when I'll take the job collecting the carts at Walmart
