That's the funny thing. I was talking to one of them who I know for a fact is very well off, and he was saying he kind of wished that he had been laid off, as it would've been a huge payout (because of tenure) that would've allowed him to not need to find another job for almost a full year, which he'd do at a leisurely pace.
In my mind I'm thinking, you'd still want to work?! Dude, you're loaded, you're over 50, why not just retire if that happened?? But maybe he wouldn't know what to do with himself. I'm not nearly at conventional retirement age yet, but despite having enough money to be financially independent already, I'm not considering retirement, as I too wouldn't know what to do with myself.
