My first "real" job was at 14. I've been working on and off since I was 10yo.

I'm going to be 61 soon and cannot plan for this thing called retirement.

I sure hadn't planned on it, but things happen.

I’m just curious (and I’m not young): was there any point in life when you thought you needed to get out of there? That you ought to migrate to another area with more opportunities? Understood that would seem like a giant leap.

Yeah I’ve been working since I was 16 but not full time.
