When that time comes?

[brownmonster]

I have never known anybody as dense as you. I can retire today at $7000 a month. Give up a job that pays $95K a year? I'm still 59 and I like to make money. Why is that so hard to get in your head? I'm happy with my life just the way it is. You are the one that needs "to figure this out".

So in essence you are working 50 hours a week to make 11 grand a year. Yikes.

Who else has May 7th marked on their calendar?

With only 16 working days left I have it all figured out./QUOTE]

16 days? Heck in 21 Day's I will have been retired 13 years. A retirement filled with travel, hobbies and so far good health.

Hope to be retired more years than I worked! I am so glad so many want to work till a certain date that suits them! Mine was 49 I'm now 62 and if you subtract being retired 13 from 62 the feel good math comes in about that I am around 35!

All of my customers.

Not quite, I’m adding to my investments now instead of spending them. I just have a house note. I hit full pension three years ago and I could probably live off that if I tightened my belt enough. I don’t have the luxury of two incomes like most drivers have.

Just one income here yet I am still able to leave according to plan.

And only one person to support...

And how much is retire health care? That adds up too.

$150/month single
$300/month married in our plan.

$150/month single
$300/month married in our plan.

But for how much longer?

I was asking Scratch. That is a big factor in retirement it's $200- $400 here


And their is no way of knowing what the future cost is going to be. Everything' will increase in price except your pension

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

It used to be 1/3 of that so it may go up in the future.

I will only be on it until I turn 65.

Another way I look at it is my pension if I retire now is about $4000 gross versus at least $7500 I make now. I would be a lot better off if I was single and didn’t have somebody else spending my money. Wife is legally blind and doesn’t work. I got my yearly Social Security statement yesterday and that will add $2560 a month at full retirement age. I just think that at the present time I want to finish paying off my mortgage and adding to investments is a wiser thing to do.

Like I said before. You do not have to explain yourself to us. On a side note she would probably be happy to see the love of her life he with her.

I just need a little more time before I can get out and my wife wants me to go

I know I don’t have to explain my personal situation. I seldom bring that up, everybody’s finances are different. It’s really a waste of time trying to communicate with some of the people on here.

Did you start sleeping until morning thus skipping the midnight snack?

No, cancer does it.

Just do what's best for Scratch and Mrs. Scratch
