I never thought about this.
I never imagined that leaving the workplace for good is a bad thing. I thought [I still do] that would be the happiest feeling ever.
- That I am [finally] done.
- That I have graduated from the workplace.
- That I have finally earned my retirement with money in the bank.
Of course. What do I know? I am standing at age 40, postulating how things will be at 60.
Jenny, who retired at 55, is here to tell me [that] I am wrong.
