[QUOTE="want to retire, post: 1068108"] I have been labeled sad and pathetic, so take this with a grain of sodium.........I'm 50 with 32 years(30 full-time). Through my pathetic money mgt, rainy days and other things(mouths to feed and such) need to work for awhile. Simply, my daughter is in college, my home is not paid off and I have 2 other individuals who depend on me for shelter, food etc. If I retired, we would have no insurance. I'm not even elligible(for insurance) for 5-7 years(it's unclear) and it would only be a shadow of what we have now. I simply can't take a 60% cut in pay and not work. I don't think it makes any logical sense to give up 7 weeks vaction and $30 an hour.....no matter how much I hate it or how fast it's killing me. Unless the new contract is so bad, I'll be here. I have a chance to eventually make it to the top of my feeder roster (potentially) in the next ten years. I'm generally alot younger than most of the folks above me and the math of retirements(with exceptions) are in my favor. All predicated on my health and contracts of course. [/QUOTE]
