[QUOTE="want to retire, post: 1003453"] Something that bothers me about "retirement".........Here in our region/contract whatever..........if you retired prior to 2009(I think)(close enough for discussion).......they had their pension cut in half......so you guys talk about "financial planning" and all...........I'm just a regular guy and the bread winner in my family.....basically one income. So, no 401k, "investments", riches........in other words........I'm depending on my pension being there. I'm in feeders with 31 years(although at the bottom of seniority) and could(in theory) stay a long time. I want to retire. I hate every second of it. I'm only 50, so if I leave I won't have any insurance until I find another job. My blood pressure medication alone would sink us financially..........So, if I work until 70........I might(might) be at the top of seniority in feeders.........and I figure I'll have about 5 years until I kick-off(no person on my Dad's side of the family has lived past 75).........I sure wished I loved my job.....but I don't..........working nights.......sucks.............this is what I contemplate......everyday.
