Will inflation delay UPSers Retirements?

135, 86 miles. Maybe 200 pcs? Mostly resi. Lots of flag lots, long driveways. Low stress. @MECH-lift would release dna if he could score such a route.

Your'e being too lenient on them my brother.

I'm sure it's not a bad route, but at 86 miles you can put a hurt on them a bit more and tweak those stops down.
Piece count is respectable.

Im down to three pairs of underwear. Accepting donations.

Mind if they're used? Just not up for doing laundry and gonna buy new or free ball for a bit.

I bought the house about 12 years ago...a pre civil war carpenter gothic, mint condition with all the modern upgrades, granite counter tops etc..etc. a ton of privacy.. next to a old grave yard.

Live in a small village 20 miles from a major city...if the kids do not want to live in it they could list it on Airbnb and make a killing.

That works out well, they make a killing and have a cemetery right next door.

Pretty much. Move about 6 or 7 times.

You’re barely even going to notice when they roll out the autonomous trucks

 

[DriverNerd]

Not sure if you are doing your children a favor by leaving them anything....
I have 6 children.
3 of them would probably be responsible with a nice inheritance
3 of them it may ruin their lives.

Not sure what we are gonna do.

My dad already told me that in his will everything goes to me because he doesn't trust my sister with any of it. He still loves her, he's just not blind to the situation.

If your dad hasn't already moved his wealth into a trust, with you as trustee, it might be a good idea to suggest it. Wills are ok, but the trust is a much better option.

I see plenty of guys retire only to get another crappy job? Why not stay, make good money, plenty of vacation?

And I’ve never heard a single one regret the decision.

 

[Brownslave688]

Wait... @rod told me that newspapers are delivered by bicycle!

And they paid enough to put 35% down on his first house after 2 years of work.

Like the dude that loses in the casino, they never admit it!

Yes. Bypass probate. Do not feed the beast.

I thought about it..dust me and sprinkle me across the fence.

Not an active cemetery anymore.. but we buried our pet cat next to it. ( in the middle of the night).

 

[burrheadd]

You haven’t meet my children.. ain’t going to happen..

Me and the misses took out long term health coverages 20 years ago... do not want to be kicked to the curve till I am 90.

It’s curb
Hope that helps

Who gets newspapers today?

I know lots of people who do

I know lots of people who do

Our local paper is so thin it's not worth buying. Part of the newspaper's trouble is their own doing. I would block of online access to non paying users. Also, the need to get back to reporting on the local level. If you look at local papers from years ago, they reported on everything.

 

[Big Babooba]

Perhaps if not all their ducks are in a row.

The biggest enemy to a lot of UPSers are all the toys they buy with the loans or re-financing their homes or divorce. It was almost comical to see the parking lot after a new contract was passed. New RV's , Harleys, dually's , talk of new homes, etc.

Getting near retirement is a time to buy down and scale down.

Divorce got me.

 

[Poop Head]

Alot of guys retire from here then do stuff like drive busses.

That's at least a months worth before you have to do laundry.

 

[PASinterference]

sick of these dinosaurs suckin down the cake routes ! Time to retire!

You rookies burn them to the ground in less than 30 days. Don't say it isn't true because it is. I've seen it happen countless times. Runners have no clue how to maintain a route.

The only reason I read the local paper is to see who died and also to find out if my wife wrote into DearAbby to complain about me.
