62 minus 49 equals how many ?

[Shiftless]

Thats 13 Cinco de Mayo's!

This is the day 13 years ago I planned my "Adios M-FER'S"

I was 49 then and I am 62 now!

Perfect day for me to Move On! Have never regretted it! So far, knock on wood, plan has worked to NEVER work again! Just friend-OFF! Play with Hot Rods, Motorcycles and Travel ! But more importantly, enjoy the Family!

Whats your plan when you retire?

OR

Did your retirement date work out so far and how many years in?

My plan is to never retire. I'm going to work till I die and if I die or end up being able to retire it will be a win win. Low expectations equals lower chance of a let down. Congratulations on all you have!

61-52=9
Couldn't get insurance until 52. 49..luckeeee!
Everyday is like Saturday.. no, wait, they work them now don't they? HaHa!

Altho I left at age 49, Having planned this event, I had stockpiled all my paid benefit days to run me out past my 50th birthday so I could get the health insurance.

Probably the Golden era to be a UPS/Teamster.

 

[BrownFlush]

I would have done the same but here you can't stockpile.

Got out at 51 and have been enjoying retirement for the last 13 months.

Congrats! All I can say is Stay Busy! The old saying "You Stop, You Drop" seems to be true!

As it is now have to be 57 here to keep insurance. So that's the plan for now.

Even if you have 30 years?

 

[Brownslave688]

Even if you have 30 years?

Yep.


Although that might have changed with teamcare. That I'm not sure of. Guys are always sticking around til 57 though so they can have insurance and keep their spouse on it

[Been In Brown Too Long]

Retired 2 1/2 weeks ago. 49 years old. It's great so far, although technically I'm still on vacation for another 5 1/2 weeks. My stress level has dropped significantly, and have time to do all the things I want to do. Our retiree healthcare is $0 for you and your spouse. We've been diverting 0.89/hr for years now to cover our retiree health care. Western Conference, Norcal. It's nice that it's one less expense to worry about.

Pretty sure there's no annual limit, it's basically the same plan we have while working.
