Work isn't meant to be fun. It's a means to an end. When I'm 57, possibly earlier if my investments do better than I'm anticipating, I will be done with work and set until I'm 105, making as much per month as I do now.

My financial advisor recommends having 80% of what you make/month but I like having 100%. With the wife's pension, we'll actually be making more per month than we do now, combined (she has a killer pension).

We'll be living the good life, retired early. Meanwhile, you have to work past retirement. I feel bad for your family; more interested in your own interests rather than them. You planning on saddling them with your funeral costs when you're gone as well?

You are so correct. Unfortunately I have burdened my family with my poor planning. We have had to fly Delta Main Cabin instead of Delta Comfort on the 3 vacations we have taken since New Years. My wife is crushed that we had to sit with the commoners while flying to Orlando the last couple of weeks. Hopefully after our Vegas trip, we can upgrade when we go to Phoenix the next week. If not, we might have to sit next to people like you and that would be a real shame.

$85 an hour?. That's some Drumpf math right there.:happy2:
Yep. Work 40 hrs a month. About $1200 or so per month. Save about $1800 in insurance cost. $3000 or so between the 2 divided by 40 hrs worked is close to $80 or so an hr. Maybe get a 5th grader to show you the math. Might be a little complex for you.

Don't worry, you wouldn't. We always fly options plus.

You'd be guaranteed to sit next to your other red neck friends.

All I see is Senior discounts on McDonalds coffee, Velcro sneakers, Do they accept Medicare questions, daytime television, getting ignored by grandkids cause they are on smartphones. Possible sponge bath too.
Not being harsh, just trying to figure out how I can always live on my own terms.

My father turns 80 Friday. He really could use some help around the house but refuses to let anyone help him. Stepmom died from Parkinson's 3 years ago.

Like I said Drumpf math. Saving$ is not the same as what you are actually paid. Ttku....

Wait, before it was $85 an hour. Now it's close to $80?

Keep moving those goal posts. Maybe one day you'll find someone who believes your garbage.

Depends on how many hrs I work. Usually about 10 a week. Worked late today returning vans back to Penske. I have busted 12 hrs some weeks. That is tough. Lots of hrs for this old man.

Lol you just love scolding others for you "catching them in lies", even though it's just your lack of understanding basic sentences. Yet, when you do it, there is always some bs excuse.

Keep lying, bud. It's entertaining at least.

Are you addressing Trump or Ancient Flatulence? They’ve both been on my “ignore” list for so long now I can’t tell.

Not quite but nowhere near a five hour swing. Hell, it's not close to a one hour swing.

Keep deflecting though. lol
Our couriers hrs will vary 4 or 5 hours each week. Mine vary 1 or 2 a week. When you only average 10 a week, not much variance
