[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 2010561, member: 12952"] I had to retire early at a young age due to a medical problem that working would only make worse . I worked more jobs within the UPS system than I can count , all as a p/t . Worked mornings doing airs , grab a couple of hours sleep and head back to the job for an evening or night shift . Some nights I didn't have enough time to get home for sleep , so I found an empty office to sleep in . My highest pay for being an air exception driver was $11.66/hr . And I worked every Saturday that I could , even when I was on vacation . Did that for 20+ yrs . Yet I was able to cover all my bills and set a little aside . I'm too young for SS , which I paid into for 40+ yrs ( pre-UPS included ) . I need another 5+ yrs . So don't sit on your high horse complaining about being poor , learn to shut your mouth , get off your arse and work . Even in retirement with my crippled body , I still work , boat repair and lobstering . [/QUOTE]
