Medicare after 65

[satellitedriver]

It was seamless for me to transfer from UPS insurance to UPS retirement insurance.
Retired 7yrs ago after 29yrs driving at the age of 61.
Once I reached 65, I had to transfer into Medicare and buy a supplemental policy, and it was seamless.
All I did was take the time to research online, before I retired.
I do not understand how someone could take the big step of retirement and not have done "the math".
Medicare costs me about $140.00 a month and my supplement policy is about $120.00.

It had been so long since I had even seen a post from him. But I remember the green font. Which was much better than the blue font another long time member used.

Seems the green Gumby boy needs new glasses.
Actually, it worked to my advantage to get my message across.
Plus the double entendre of a little green man.
People had to concentrate to read the words.

As in UPSer's?

This sort of advice is considered a failure on the retiree here on BC. At least for me......others seem to get a free pass.

Seems if you don't retire at 48 here......and have $3 mil in your 401k....

And don't forget the money made during this time also.

And why would someone quit a great job to get another? You are still working.....

Except for working nights, my feeder run is cake.

I believe your advice is far more realistic for most folks. And will be in fact how it goes...

Lol
Guy doesent save a nickel his whole career now giving retirement and financial advice

you should leave this subject to the adults and go work on your airplane

Who is your supplement with?

And, retired a millionaire.
Working at UPS 50 to 60hrs a week and having a side business doing custom metal work.
While my wife worked 50hrs a week managing a small country general store and she had a custom stain glass business.
Saved, invested and retired at the age of 60, totally debt free.
Rag on me all you like for being a scab, by quitting the union in 1997.
That strike was just a war between Carey and Hoffa for control of the union and the pension money.
1997 taught me to not to buy into the unions false promises and I took my retirement plans into my own hands.
The UPS pension is, and was, funded by UPS, not the Teamsters.
Every UPS driver today should say a prayer of thanks that the teamsters no longer control the future pension.
Look at the state of Central States funded pension, then look at the state of funding for your UPS pension.
I take punks calling me a scab with a grain of salt, and a badge of personal honor.

Quit the Union = Scab, but getting pension?
Go into management?

Who paid the money into the pension?
Answer, UPS.
Why is the Central States pension fund are on the edge of default.
Answer, Teamsters mismanagement of the funds.
In 1987, the division manager of all of North Texas offered to write "my letter" to apply for management.
I told her, no thanks I see how managers are treated.
I am still a member in good standing with USW ( United Steel Workers) since 1973.
I am still a member in good standing with IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers) since 1979.
Was a Teamster for 11yrs, before I realized the depth of corruption and told them to FO.
From that day in 1997, I donated the money I paid in teamster union dues to charity and still do today 24yrs later.
I do not lay down with dogs and standup with fleas.
Fleas cause scabs.
Enjoy your little comfort blanket of teamster protection, because apparently you can not depend on your own ability.

Fleas cause scabs.

I understand why you would know what causes scabs.

If you can not handle the truth backed up by fact,

I understand why you would know what causes scabs.
