Buy an annuity, put it in bonds, rentals, metals, the list is never ending. Key is diversify.

You got it. Live it up till I die. See?

It is interesting how much free financial advice you can get here. And you don't even have to ask for it.

I almost gave a dog treat to a kid the other day
It has been an interesting year working 50 plus hour days and, even a few Saturdays, since the middle of March
I do not see this Pandemic ending anytime soon
Let the games begin when peak comes around

With more lockdowns coming, millions out of a job, and at some point the gov't will run out of money there will be no peak to worry about.

Reason for leaving the job... Plantar fasciitis in both feet.
Even surgery did not help.
I was on track to go the full 40 years, leaving with a special 35 year pension.
Good thing I left, all the pain pills I had been taking were actually killing my insides.
Haven't taken a pain pill for a year, not even an aspirin.
I just learned to live with the pain, a lot like working for UPS.

The government never runs out of money.

Unless the money printer folks can’t afford the ink., we should be fine printing money.

What’s the point of staying that long? I’m guessing divorces?

I know of at least one local where you have to be 62 before you can draw the pension, so that's a reason for some. But other than that I agree with you, never understood why people stayed any longer than they absolutely have to.

Maybe seen too many coworkers die within a year or two after retiring?

I was always more worried about the ones who died on the job. Didn't want to go out like that.

After joining BC, i told my tax guy and my investment advisor to take a hike!

When i die, i want them to put my fresh corpse on the belt and let it get crushed in the rollers.

Simple.
Money. Lot's of it. Nope not divorces. Been married to the same lady 30+ years. I like having lots of extra money to spend and yes piss away. My goal in life is not to be old and in some home being fed pea soup. friend that.

As long as there are credit cards still around we will have a peak

Those that know what’s coming are not enjoying it.

there’s a very real chance that these kids don’t go back until January. That will be almost an entire year without in person learning. For a few kids that’ll be ok but the large majority do not have the help or resources at home to effectively learn that way.

who is going to get those kids back on track that are nearly a year behind now? It ain’t gonna be mom and dad. It ain’t gonna be the government giving more funding to help. Nope it’s gonna be the teachers going above and beyond.

They will be prime candidates for management.

BTW: $50-60,000, pension, and bennies for 9 months of "hard labor" paper cuts isn't too awful bad.
