So far the plan is working! I am 69, retired when I was 49 and that has been 20 years of retirement so far!
I am grateful for opportunity the Teamsters and UPS made available to me as long as I did my part!
Reflections in my mind of what led up to my retirement and the things that have happened since was mostly a coordinated effort.
I hope that many of you that have retired or are still working towards the goal of a successful retirement have the same or better opportunity in your retirement.
Also retired at 49. Our Local was 30 years and full pension and insurance. Also last year received a $500 monthly increase in pension. I'm 76 years old now, so been retired 27 years now. Never any regrets. I believed getting out as soon as possible while still young enough to enjoy life and remove the stress from dealing with management.
