Invited to VP Sam Nesbitt conference call

Might have done better putting the difference in index funds after they dropped the traditional.

Didn't have to contribute to either pension. And didn't have the funds for much else.

 

[Oldfart]

Great, got the old SSI statement out, how about putting your yearly income here. Better yet what is your monthly defined benefit payment upon retirement?

No biggie. My Traditional will be $1850 if I take the 100%, which I won't. And I sure won't take SS leveling like dumb asz tex did. What a dumb tool he is.

What is your Traditional?

Thankfully our pension does not offer SS leveling.

Mine is $1840 for 12 years. Allowed me to leave at 55. You're still working. I win.

 

[Oldfart]

You got 12% deposited? How'd you manage that whiner? And if they had topped me out in a reasonable time and kept the traditional I'd be looking at $30k+ easily for the rest of my life from the traditional. Easy to talk about how much money you have when you actually got paid a reasonable amount.

I believe they deposited 8% plus 4% of some kind of credits. Too long ago for me to remember. Sounds like you were making as much or more than me and still retired broke. Bummer

Ours does and only idiots take it. Kinda like tex. Bummer

If you switched over voluntarily you didn't get the extra 4%. Geez you're clueless.

Tex is not an idiot----he was given lemons and was unable to make lemonade.

Hey dingleberry, I'm leaving for Asia in a month. What are you doing? Oh yeah right, doing a job you hate. Bummer.

He made persimmons.

Will you be staying in a cabin or will you be forced to hop on board as a stowaway?

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

 

[vantexan]

Then you were in the traditional until 2008. I know too many guys who were pissed when they found out they weren't getting the extra 4%.

 

[Oldfart]

Hey dingleberry, I'm leaving for Asia in a month. What are you doing? Oh yeah right, doing a job you hate. Bummer.

Asia. LOL. Let me know when you go somewhere anyone with any intelligence wants to go. Where are you going next? Afghanistan

Got a cheap seat on the wing! Actually the flight from Orlando to London is only $167 on standby.

You might want to buy a map—-London is in Europe, not Asia.

Afghanastin? Is that a decongestant?

You might want to buy a clue....2nd leg of a three flight trip. About $500 total to fly halfway around the world. Discount airlines are all the rage.

My son flew to SE Asia and never went anywhere near London.

 

[vantexan]

Sure, if you say so. You say so many erroneous things that I'm not sure what are fibs and what's ignorance.

 

[vantexan]

But I'm not going to SE Asia.
