Sure we have. Your miserable life during retirement has been a pipedream. Unable to enjoy your golden years due to a poor plan. For those that sacrificed and had a plan, retirement has been fantastic. Not having to look at a calender except to see when the next retirement check arrives.
Then there's living a routine, unimpressive and inconsequential life such as yours is.
You can call your welfare check your "retirement" check.... We don't mind.
I said you NOT we.
You can call it what you want. I call it financial freedom. Making 10% more in retirement than I and most couriers made working. Meanwhile tex lives in his car and Cactus is eaten up with jealousy and bitterness to the point he can't even enjoy retirement. That is a real shame.
How did you find outI enjoy Falcon's commentary here he is witty entertaining and living the dream (unlike you).
Jealousy huh? Prove it. That's right The onus is on you now to prove your accusations regarding Tex and Cactus.
I was a swing years ago. You ran into this doing pickup routes. Some couriers never showed up until the last minute and still gave them time to get their shipment ready. That's fine, but the regular courier needs to tell Jim at ACME that his pickup window is 1530-1700 and there's a good chance that I'll be there much earlier than 1655. I rarely waited and gave them the same "This is when you said your shipment would be ready" speech as you did. They got ticked off but they're the ones who set the ready time, not me.
Anytime a customer told me that I had to do something, that was a guarantee that I wouldn't do it. Ask me politely and work with me without it being a frequent issue, I'd do just about anything, but telling me I have to? LOL, wrong.
Tex has posted on many occasions that he lives in his car. Cactus has stated many times how poor the pension plan is and how hard it is to live on the pension. Simple for you to look up if you are bored.
I tell them relax… just take it to the Airport Station that closes at 9PM and it will get out. Bye
Yeah, I’ve said how poor the pension plan is but never said how hard it is to live on the pension only. Big difference there. I’m on a diet so quit sticking words in my mouth.
Did you see that billboard? I heard they had finally put it up but I had my doubts. Maybe I will see it on my way to Boston when I go to Fenway to see the Yankees and the Red Sox series. I am stoked about stepping inside Fenway and seeing the Green Monster. I bet your retirement is going well too. Joining your friends at Denny's for morning coffee can be very exciting. I bet you take your own thermos and have the waitress bring refills so you can take coffee home with you.
Zzzzz….thanks for the insomnia cure.
Compliments to you for being blessed, saving, and making good financial decisions Falcon. Making more in retirement than when working is very rare. If thats the case for you, why then do you feel the need to come on an online forum of your former employer to argue with and belittle people? Isnt your living the dream lifestyle enough for you to be complete? Im going to be retiring in a couple of years and financially I will be OK. But I would never lord my success over others who for one reason or another are not in the same position that I am. I am grateful for what I have. Why aren't you?
Old Falcon Fart keeps trying to make something out of nothing. His retirement is what is nothing. His post retirement life experiences are NOTHING EXCEPTIONAL! I could see it if he was bicycling through China, climbing in the Himalaya's or restoring a war bird. But playing a round of golf, drowning a worm or going to a ball game.... who hasn't done that at least once in their life time?
I am ecstatic. Just like to pick on those that say it can't be done and call me ignorant because they feel mighty in their wealth of knowledge. They feel the need to call me names in order to make themselves feel better but we all did the same job and I made the best out of my years of employment while Tex, Cactus and bacha pissed away their opportunities.
Long term care insurance will take care of my assisted living needs. The company offered it years ago and I began paying way before I was 50. Somewhere around $18 a month for about 6k a month in coverage. Had it for years and hope I never need it but it's there if I do. Proper planning you tool. I did it, you didn't. Nice try though.
Lol. You hate the fact that someone had a 40 year plan for retirement and implemented that plan and now lives the good life. Your plan was to not save or sacrifice and now that you retired, you scrape by. I take it you didn't take advantage of the Long Term Care insurance offered years ago. It was a fantastic plan though it seemed not needed when I began buying it. Now that I am older, I am glad I did.
