As of right now my plans are to retire after my 25 years, which will be in about 2 1/2 years. Has anyone heard any information about the new contract that might suggest they will give a little more for 25 and out like the 30 and out?From what I am reading, 30 years will go up to $3400/month by 2017. How about 25 years? Right now it is $2000/month. I'm really hoping that increases some also.
25 and Out...

I'd love if I could go at 25 (since I have 25 years in). I just don't see how, even if I was old enough (and in a plan) that paid 2K per month. When I retire, I want to be able to travel, I want to not worry about money at all. I also don't want to have to work when I retire.

Pension plans are already in trouble. They can't afford to pay people any more to be retired for more years then they worked. We still have 25 and out where I am. I think it's 2100 a month.

Local 177 has a clause in the contract that enables people to retire at 52 years of age and 30 years of full time service with full retirement benefits. It's all about your local. My old local has 25 and out and maximum retirement of $3700, but nothing more for more time served.

I hate to burst your bubble but unless you win a multimillion dollar lottery a person will always worry about money. The secret is as it has always been ----live within your means. Even though I was always paid an excellant wage at UPS I never felt that I was "wealthy". I lived comfortably but no where near extravegantly. I could have lived better. With my credit rating I'm sure I could have financed pretty much anything I wanted-.i.e. bigger house- fancier car. I always tell anyone who asked how I was able to retire at 53 that "I wasn't a rich man when I was working so I didn't expect to be one when I retired. If you retire debt free with a decent nest egg you will have no problem maintaining your lifestyle. I only know of one retired UPS driver who dosen't have to worry about money--------------Thats because he married a rich widow after he retired.

Seems weak to me...I guess it's better than nothing, hardly a sustainable income to go play golf on. Especially where I live in the shadow of the national capital beltway.

It is not meant to be.
Retirement funding is based on a three legged stool:
1) UPS funded pension
2) Employee savings (401k and personal)
3) Social Security
