[QUOTE="The Milkman, post: 1628844, member: 22760"] A lot of us recent retirees also had faith in our benefits....That is until they were watered down. I never lived Cheap, Frugal, Tight, whatever you want to call it..You only live once so I am enjoying the ride without worrying so much as tomorrow may never come. Looking at numbers in a statement does not give you any more time on this earth. I am spending those numbers, after all...work your butt off for 25-30 yrs at UPS then be afraid to live it up?...that is if you can walk out in fairly good healthy shape. I would hope to die with little or nothing left except leave the Life insurance for the wife. I keep my home cool in summer out here in AZ. Most leave their homes on 80-82..They are nuts. I keep mine at 72 most of the time..The cost..who cares..I spent many years dripping sweat in a pkg car, sticking to the back of the seat, dropping sweat on the clipboard when still on paper..now it is my time to enjoy what I earned, not penny pinch because you may be worried about needing money the next day, week or yr.. Just think of the guy who flew that plane into the mountain... The people on that flight may have had future plans, but as you know they all ended in a flash,you never know when your number will be up..And a dirt nap is a looooooong loooooooong time [/QUOTE]
