[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 711037, member: 24302"] [b]Re: Plan Today and Play Tomorrow[/b] As far as retirement goes I see I only have 3 options: Live overseas. And as I'll have only $1100 or so a month at 55 plus some savings that'll narrow my choices as to what I can afford that won't get me killed or catch a serious disease. Seriously, I've researched this for years. There are some nice places out there that are reasonable but as I have no cost of living adjustment built into my pension I may have to keep working to save more to supplement it. Camp fulltime. Not necessarily RVing but a small camper boondocking on public land. Can supplement my pension by taking on temp jobs like working the sugarbeet harvest in North Dakota. Can pocket a few grand working 4 or 5 weeks there. Move in with relatives. Both my sister and brother want me too. Both my brother-in-law and sister-in-law don't. 'nuff said. Just illustrating how limited my choices are for retirement given what the company did to the pension. My only other choice appears to be keep working, probably until I drop. I've known couriers in their late 60's. Not what I want. Looks like I'll head to the Philippines to find a wife, and hope the gov't doesn't ruin Social Security. If that happens we are all screwed. Well, all of us who weren't corporate exec's who raked it in. [/QUOTE]
