I'm not good with money. I don't have a lot, but I'm better off than many folks. As I approach my retirement from my current job, and prepare to pack up and move to my hometown, Kansas City, I guess it's not a huge surprise that I feel a bit anxious. Downright scared at times.
This morning I met with my financial advisor. Her main advice? GET A JOB. She was serious. She thinks everyone, especially women, should keep working. And, she told me I should start looking for a job before I leave this one. This is good advice from a career counseling viewpoint.
My problem is that I can only deal with a few things at a time. No way am I a multi-tasker. Right now I'm focused on getting my house ready to sell, packing what I can right now, looking at the condo market in KC, and worrying about everything.
So the thought of adding GET A JOB to my "to do" list is, shall we say, "daunting?"
Time to remind myself: Forward.
There. I feel better already.
