    Kathy you made the right decision quitting your part time job, life is short and if you can afford to do it, do what’s best for you and be free. You have a HUGE outdoor space to do your walks everyday to be active. Enjoy life with your babies 😊.

    Congratulations. You can always go back to work but you can't ever get back the time you give away. Sometimes you have to step back to really see what you are missing. Time to just enjoy life on your schedule and terms.

    Sis. I know exactly how you feel. Been working since 15 myself & I'm mentally & physically drained. I'm a little older than you; so all I can advise, is to keep moving. You must stay active, stretch, and keep life moving. Be free Kathy! 😂💐🤗

    Hi Kathy. I’m Evelyn, and stumbled upon this video of yours less than an hour ago. I understand your frustrations with doing unfulfilling work that is taxing on the body, and the brain. I am a free-spirited Aquarian who happens to be an artist. I have quit numerous temp jobs, so I could stay home and create for a while, and sell my work. There were too many times in my life I cried at the thought of going back into the madness another day, just to get the bills paid. I’ll be 63 in February, and feel I’m too old to be working hard for my coins, inflicting pain on my body, blah blah blah. A week ago, I started a full-time job that pays a lot lower than I applied for. Gonna quit that one too 😂. There’s too much back-biting and bickering. I’ve never worked in a nursing home before, and this will be a short-lived experience. I’m not about that underpaid, glorified babysitter life, putting up with bs from co-workers and corralling combative dementia residents. Woosah! My dream is to own a home again, but to live off-grid like you, and paint to my heart’s contentment. Creating and caring for my aquatic turtle are my therapy. They keep me in my happy place. I’ll figure out how to make my ideal life happen. People do it everyday. I know it will take a whole lot more faith than what I’m riding on, because nothing beats a failure, but a try. Keep striving to be the best version of yourself, and continue walking in your greatness. ❤

    Hi Kathy, we only get one life and none of us knows when it's up. So my sister do whatever makes you happy! ENJOY what's left of your life without the deadlines..I'm your age and retired too... I've had to make financial sacrifices but I'm so much happier and feeling free ❤
    *You have property, get you some white chalk and tape measure and draw a white circle around your property the size of a 1/2 mile( make you a track) and use that for walking daily if you walk around your home at lease 2-6 times every day on your track that will equal 1-3 miles daily. Walking is the best and safest exercise for us as we age. I how this tip helps...by the way you look great!! ❤

    I’m in the same boat as you. I’m 60 and single as well as childfree. I semi retired last year at 59. I have been working part time since I retired from my full time job. I have also reached a point where I’m done with working. I’m financially in a good position so there is no need for me to continue to work.
    I was working part time mainly because my car died but it seem like all these minor emergencies just happened all at once like garage door needed to be replace, my dog had some significant health issues and my car died and I had to get another car so instead of burning through my emergency savings, I just started working part time to pay for it. I have about 3500 to pay off and I’m done. It should be 3 more months. The part time job I have is really easy and doesn’t really feel like a job but like you, I’m tired of working and calling it quits in December.

      My aunt is doing just that, most of the elders in my family retired from working for the government/ state so their retirement is pretty good. But cost of living has gone up so much that another aunt of mine works part time in her field as a social worker. It’s crazy out here and I think most people should start living together to make ends meet. God bless.

      @deenice5444 what a great idea to start living together having roommates. Cost of living is so high and thank God I live off grid. ❤️❤️❤️
