The company I worked for closed down 6 months ago. After working there for 13 yrs, my severance package wasn't too bad. My husband is retired and likes me being home. He says we'll be fine, I don't have to get another job and not to worry. I don't get bored because the days seem to care of themselves. I've been used to working full-time for many years though, so right now I'm feeling guilty, like I should be out there.
Recently, a large sum of money was left in a will for me, roughly $100,000. I would like to get some new furniture, go abroad for a month, then go back to school and work part-time. Eventually, with my skills upgraded, I can choose to either work full or part-time again until, whenever. The remaining money, I'd like to invest it in RRSP's, GIC's, etc. for 'another day'. This I will work out with my financial advisor. Some people think I'm nuts and I should spend, spend, spend and have a great time. I don't think so. I think my plan is the right thing to do - for me anyway.
Isn't this normal?
