Sounds like your dad is working and not really retired at all!

That is good.

He thought, for a while, about opening a fixit shop. But decided it was more ‘fun’ if he didn’t HAVE to do it every day. BTW, his disability was NOT govt disability. And he and mom saved 99c of every $ he made when he was working so they’re not on any FSA checks right now. It’s a good thing they were so frugal. I could tell stories about their frugality. I’ll give you one though. When he had his massive MI and very nearly died (heart surgeon told him if he’d EVER smoked he’d have died from it, dad was too cheap to spend $$ on cigs) the emergency staff cut his clothes off when he came in. One of his favorite sets of work coveralls too. He made them SAVE the little strips of fabric in a bag and when I came to visit him he asked if I could sew them back together for him. LOL.
