[QUOTE="Notretiredyet, post: 1178757, member: 44381"] My hope is to retire in 2017 with 39yrs at UPS, seven years later than my original plan. With the TA that's approx $3600month plus whatever my 7yrs PT is worth. I'll be 59 in 2017 and have no desire to work anywhere else to supplement my income, so I decided to stay the extra years now so I can spend my 60's doing whatever I enjoy. Thru the years I've watched many co-workers retire at the first chance they had only to get another job without the benefits and pay that UPS provides. A few have done well, doing something less physical with regular hours and I'm happy for them. But on the flip side many of them are struggling to get by on the money they get from their pension, and now are worried the benefits they left with years ago will be cut when the CS pension fund fails. Working these extra years has given me the opportunity to retire without debt and a lot more money in my 401K. I'm sorry for the PT waiting for this dinosaur to leave that wants to replace me, but hope they understand my reasons for sticking around so long. [/QUOTE]
