[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 1043435, member: 9789"] I was really struggling with this at about 53 years old. I had 2 years before I would turn 55 with almost 36 years of service. I was talking with my brother, a financial wonk, and he put this into perspective for me. He asked me a question... "How much money is it worth to you to get the two best years of your life?" I tried to quantify it and realized that working two more years would cost me about $400K. All of a sudden, I felt like I was actually making that as a salary and I was able to change my whole demeanor about the time I had left. It is a great exercise and for some folks it may actually make sense for them to go earlier than they had given thought to leaving. [/QUOTE]
