My wife and I have been married for 34 years and have a wonderful life. We are both happy in our relationship and we have both worked since we were 15. We have been fortunate enough to have worked a good portion of our lives for the nations largest defense contractor. Recently it was announced that a voluntary layoff plan was being enacted to trim down aprox. 1500 salaried workers. The group my wife works in was one of the targeted groups. With little seniority in this facility ( we transferred here last year ) my wife said to me I want to volunteer for the layoff. It just so works out that she can get the layoff and her 30 years in at the same time. So she filed her papers early this week. So after 30 years with the same company my wife is retiring at the age of 55. Big chunk of change coming out of the budget but that's OK we have always been savers. So she gets severance for her years along with drawing her pension. She's taking a few months off and then will look for a lower stress job, doing something she really likes. I'm 100% behind her in this decision. I'm real glad the Porsche's are payed for !!!
