I applied for Social Security Retirement today.

It hasn’t sunk in just yet.

I started working way back in the Dark Ages on a local farm. Then I bagged groceries. I worked at the library, and the cafeteria in college along with working for the dorm system.

After graduating I worked first with Kmart, Ames Department Stores, Meijer, Rite Aid, and Giant Foods.

In 2013 I entered the gig market working for various merchandising companies.

And now here we are. 40 years after graduating from college. Entering retirement.

I will still be working along with collecting retirement, but it feels weird. Sort of like that feeling I got when I left Giant Foods….part excitement, part sheer terror.

What happens now is all up to me.

And as my past has shown….left to my own devices….stuff gets real scary.

Stayed tuned…..
