Thanks, no it's expected to be a temporary Covid related furlough. Compared to many others we are well off. I'm fine with working or retiring as I will be 63 next month and ready to retire.

It’s great for you to be in that position Henk.

I retired at your age (62 and 11 mo) and wish I had done it a few years earlier. Getting ready to start Medicare next month. Wow, it sure goes by fast! Good luck!
