I'm looking for impartial advice on my job situation,?

Question

So....I work mon to fri in an office job, doing Admin 50hours a week. Pay is ok. But in order to be comfortable I also work sat and sun for an extra little in a shop. Here's the thing:
I am 54 I have to retire at my admin job by 62. But the retail/shop work they retire people at 65. I need to work until 65 as I have rent to pay, no partner and no family and no support. So I need to work till my very last day.
I have been offered a full time job at the shop (yesterday) , I will be £300 short a month as I will be working only one job and lower.

I could manage on less money by cutting but it's a big change. And a long term move.

What would you do.?

Sensible answers please.

i would keep the admin job for now , untill options materialize ...your only 54 now and have a good 8 years ...to make something better happen (* financially )

my father is retired from his main job ... he now works part time well over 65 ...for a small individually owned company   ...the pay is good and he enjoys it for the stimulation

the retirement age is being phased out by the government

the good thing about older ' finely mature ' employees in my opinion  is there reliable.... lots of LOCAL small businesses  will take you after 65
