Have all of your ducks lined up the hest as you can. Once you cross over you can't go back. Pay off your bills , have some retirement money and have some cash in your bank account
Brother man , listen , Let it be. Move on, I know you are just trying to help but sometimes , after awhile, it becomes something else. I love you brother let’s let this subject rest for awhile. A certain person that is a friend of ours would probably appreciate that. I may be wrong. And who knows maybe I am , but you bring it up a lot. And you don’t always need to be hearing about it when you come here to talk with your buddies I don’t mean to offend you or cause any problems. I apologize in advance if you take it that way. It’s not meant that way at all. Speech over. Back to the fluff!!!!!So many don't have a plan
So, how long you holding onto 39?
Just your age ... lolSeemed like I was missing something. So after searching google I have to ask, is that a Jerry Lee Lewis reference? Or were you just trying to amaze me with the fact that you were able to figure out my age? Or both?
Yes sir! Have the Teamster/UPS 401k plan. I went across the grain and invested on my own. Teamsters & UPS allow you to do that as long as you keep $5,000 in funds. I studied hard. Bought my own. I bought Amazon, Price Line, NetFlix & mostly UPS shipments I saw grow. Dental places & Precision machinery stuff... I used my years at UPS to see growth. Even Facebook & Alibaba.... but I kept gambling. Selling at small gains(compared to today's prices) and I should of NEVER, ever played on my own. Yet, God hates a coward and I tried the best I could.@Retired at 28.11 years curious do you have a 401k? I know I don't want to rely on just my pension.
$400 for everything! You got it made dude and yep! We are no different. We had a lunar eclipse here last week and I stayed up all night watching it. It felt GREAT!Retired update:. I retired Aug 31st, 2017 southern supplement..So far, so good. Took the 50/50 plan so spouse gets some money when she outlives me. We pay $400 total for health ins, which includes vision and dental. The pharmacy cost increased to 20% on 90 day drugs..Take home a very modest 2700 a month after ins. payment.. House and cars are paid. But will need a need vehicle in the next year or so. Take low budget driving trips once a month. ..
I wake up and everyday is Sat. Drink my coffee and then go to gym. Do my yard work a few times a week. I like landscaping. It's cold here in the southern western carolina moutains..I take a nap between 2 and 4 so I'm fresh for some Netflix TV time with the wife at night....The next day repeat..I'm too young to go into 401k or other savings. Social Security will be my raise in 3 years if needed. I like not working but if something happens where I need to I will..Good luck fella's. .

28-years & 11-months. How many years have you worked there? When do you retire?Sounds pretty damn good. How many years at UPS?
What's your retiree insurance cost? I notice mine is more than others but my monthly is more than theirs. Maybe your monthly is larger than mine but you pay a bit more for insurance.........?Our retiree medical is pretty pricey, you guys aren't even paying half what ours costs. Yeah I'm jealous.
Sliding scale based on age at retirement. At 55 it's $660/month per person dropping down to $440/month per person at age 60What's your retiree insurance cost?

Ummm, you are already a poor ass chump....move on, nothing more to see here poor boy!!Me too. I'm just not walking out too early and taking some minimum wage job. Didn't put all these years in to be some poor chump.
The west coast pension is one of the most consistent highest payed out per month pension plans in the country... but the health insurance deductibles suck Gumby’s ass!!! I dont know if this will effect the OP or not but one of the things that will be brought up, one of the three big things in the western conference contract talks is getting that healthcare monthly costs down.... a few places in the west have done this over the years and have had good results.....hopefully if this happens it will help the op....man you pay a lot in insurance
