Sign of the times
I am another victim of the slow economy. After 34 years with the defense industry, I am force to retire. Seems like everytime we get a democratic majority the defense industry gets hit hard.
Even after 34 years, the pension is not enough to make ends meet. My 401K suffered a 40% loss recently and so have my stock option plan and mutual funds. To top it all off, my tenants are moving South as there are no job prospects in the Lake Region area.
My dream was to retire in the condo I rented out in Laconia. Sell or rent my Hooksett condo. That would be realized if I could work another 6 years.
After a lot of research on the job market, NH no longer have much to offer. There are a few jobs along the sea coast but not much elsewhere. I was hoping for a part time accounting/finance position to supplement my retirement. I've yet to find one.
I think the 'baby boomers' are going to find it rough for the next few years.
