I got my pension last year. But I mine and make money in sales ands I am self employed for years.
I make my own hours. I would find it impossible to work 5 days a week 8 hours a day. but 2 or 3 hours every day via internet and some trips to the mine 2-4 times a month I will likely do for years to come.
I like the work yet I also have a lot of time to spend with the wife.
This means only your wife retired early. I always wonder, people who retire early, dont they miss daily or working routine? I understand that during first year or couple of years, people dont miss their work colleagues, routine of driving to work, getting a coffee on the way and etc. People that retire, they most likely narrow their circle of friend. If they havent saved a lot, for example to travel, they spend most of the time with their second half, family and few friends. But when you are at work, at least you get some news from colleagues. What I mean is, with retirement, the life somehow stops or pauses.
