We had a guy work almost 50 years because he didn't want his ex wife to get any of his pension.

Our pension fund may be different but my ex will start her full share when she turns 65 whether I am retired or not. She can start collecting a reduced amount the first day of the month that I am eligible to retire, whether I do so or not.

Joke’s on her.
It was only a small percentage,she even offered him a very reasonable but out.
He was hoping he dropped dead before he retired.

If I ever had a situation like that, I’d offer as much pension money in exchange for retaining 401k money. Selling to the Ex, much like we are sold on it that it will be there.
My wife says she will never divorce me. She isn't letting me off that easy.

The 401k split is normally not negotiable-—it is generally split in half on the day the divorce is finalized. The pension is two times the number of years that you were married while working at UPS, up to a maximum of 50%. You cannot give her more of your pension in order to save your 401k——it don’t work that way.

If you can still pass the DOT physical at 70+ more power to you. Some places you can draw the pension while continuing to work after 65. Maybe he got a doctorate in medieval french literature and is still paying off his student loans.

Maybe he's in Central States. Lol
Or he's the steward that the company hates and decided to bond with the 40+ center managers he's seen come and go in the time he's worked there.

How is it possible his knees, back, and shoulders still work? Especially when one considers most of his career was with no power steering, manual transmission, high step POS's.
How can a guy go 25 years beyond the usual full career of around 30? A majority of guys can't even make the 30 - at least it seems like a majority.

The same way some people live past 100 and function like healthy 80 year olds. Genetics, luck.
I'm guessing the never married guy with no kids took care of his health, favorable genetics, wasn't a drinker, wasnt a runner/gunner ever, just steady/reliable. Stress of company never bothered him due to lack of other life stress (no wife or kids)

He'll be lucky to get 12 weeks retirement

LOL. Definitely a candidate to die right after retirement. That's usually what happens to people like this.

I asked my wife if I could have a divorce and her response was, "I will never make you that happy."
