In my 55 years of life, I have never applied for a work. I got my first job through a high school friend who had been asked by her older sister whose workplace was looking for staff and she wondered if there was anyone she thought was smart at school. I stayed at that company for 5 years before joining my dad's construction company where I worked for 20 years before my husband wanted me to work with him instead, where I have been for the past 10 years.
During my first 25 years of work, I was headhunted 3 times by other companies whose offers I turned down out of loyalty to my father. One of the offers was to become a controller for a company based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Now that I need a job, Sweden is in a deep recession with high unemployment. Besides, I'm not naive, a 55-year-old is not at the top of Swedish companies' wish lists, so it will most likely be problematic to find a job. My husband is completely unlike me and feels absolutely no stress about finding a new job, quite the opposite. He plans to be off work for a year or two.
Fortunately, we were paid very well for our condominium premises and with our classification as professional investors, we have access to instruments that other investors do not have. The surplus liquidity from the sale will be invested.
