Life only Pension?

[BrownFlush]

Doctors and Dentists are some of the worst money hungry bastards out there. There seems to always be some kind of follow up that needs to be done.

Not only follow ups but follow befores.
Got to get on the needless overkill rule everything out treadmill.
Got Insurance? Let's get started.

The letter I got from Central States said 2051 "or possibly longer". 30 years from now I would be 103--I think I'm set for life now

Keep breathin'. You'll get that million.

Soooo, I keep thinking of retirement also.
BUT, I seriously cant stand the thought of spending all that time with wifey.
Is that horrible? I don't hate her or anything, but 24/7? I cant do it...

I was kinda worried about that also.
All the smilet at UPS all those years is training you don't know you're getting.
I can take anything she dishes out. We have a lot of fun.
The "rediscover" bs you read about, is actually true.

I know I get on my wife's nerves when I'm on vacation...

The question with pension maximization is how long do you go out with life insurance coverage, and for how much?

For me, I'm guaranteed 10 years payments so that would be around $525k pre tax.

The insurance company is gambling on you living while you are gambling that you will die

And vice versa. I'm usually glad to go back to work...

I mean, over 30 years of seeing her only a few hours a day. Why ruin a good thing by retiring?

We will figure it out my friend. That's one of many pieces to the puzzle before I pull the trigger on retiring

And you must have discipline to go the insurance route. You cannot miss payments.

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

You don't know me.

And, I'll decide and how to think.

Make believe? Words have meaning.

I suspect my comments hit too close to home for you.

Now, review this whole thread. And there are SEVERAL high timers mentioned....none of the b.s. I have to wade through.

Your comments do no such thing- but YOU continue to bring everything up. Screw what people think. Keep making the cash enjoying life. And chill...

Is it because you spend all day on BrownCafe?

I'm just trying to make sure she is well taken care of in case I'm not around.

It's a mixed curse of starting this job at a very young age

compared to his beer intake?

 

[Jones]

If you have any doubts about retiring then don't do it, keep working. Better the devil you know.

He drinks?

If you are not 100% sure you are ready to retire then it is not time yet. After I had put in 30 full time years my wife would ask me “when are you going to retire” I would just tell her I will know when. I would think about it at times but I couldn’t see myself retiring and this went on for years then one day I just woke up and I couldn’t see myself doing this anymore. All fears that had kept me from wanting to retire was gone. From that day in Feb 2020 I set a retirement date of Oct 30 2020 and started getting everything in order to leave. I never looked back. Spend this time getting your questions answered and running numbers to see how much money you will need to live. The more you know the more comfortable you will be when you make the decision. Good Luck!

Last year kind of blew up my retirement plans
But it all wasn't in a bad way It just messed up my short-term of getting out of here but it also secured my long-term chance of having money when I get older

Once you get to the point you can retire anytime you feel like it most of the pressure is off you at work. But it is hard to keep going to work when you know you have the option of calling it quits.
