[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 1000876, member: 9789"] When UPS offered the 30 and out I was too young. I could not understand why anyone would want to retire at 50. HAHAHA! When I hit 50, I was ready. This is such an individual decision there is no "right answer". [B]The right answer is what ever you decide[/B]. I absolutely made a decision that I would not work one day longer than necessary.[B] I started counting down at 45 years old[/B]....10 years before I could retire! I did everything I set out to do and [U]never dreamt I would get the opportunities[/U] I had. [B]I loved all the positions I had as non-management and management[/B]. [B]I was able to get married at 20 because of UPS and am still married to the love of my life at 60[/B]. I was a belt-boy, a hub man, a driver 5+ years, supervisor, managed 7 centers - 3 hubs, 2 departments, on senior staff and was one of the 1st Quality Managers. I had to petition Corporate for a title for my business cards the job was so new! I found the place I wanted to spend my second half of life [B]at 50 and then the countdown became more intense[/B]. I wanted to be in Sedona. We moved here full time the day I retired. I had countdown clocks and calendars EVERYWHERE! At work, at home, on all my computers!
