For Those Who Are Retired

[b116757]

One of my coworkers just retired he is on terminal vacation now until March 1st his official last day of work. I’ve got 7-8 years to age 60 our retirement age but my back isn’t in the best condition so it’s entirely possible I may slide out the door early when I no longer can put off back surgery.

Congratulations on the upcoming retirement. The next six months will go by fast. I anticipate many of the same goals when I retire next fall. I will be transitioning to Medicare for health coverage, and start drawing on the 403(b), which is like a 401K but for non-profits. I also look forward to getting more involved and church and getting to know our neighbors better through both the coop and local farm networks.

Sweet!

It is something how your whole perspective starts to change the closer it gets, it’s almost surreal that it is actually finally happening.
I think more church is going to be on our list also.

I have had coworkers do the same right before retirement over the years, knee or hip surgery.
Knock on wood but so far I’ve been OK, I need to get in better shape and I have a little hypertension that is the only major thing for me…I’m trying to just cut out as much stress as I can.

MY company pays us back for unused sick time to a certain extent. Folks get all tuned up before they leave. Dental benefits I think go away.

At 48, I am interested in social security. But wonder what it's going to be like in 14 or so years. Got to get back to old time politicians. They can skim the pot and balance the budget...... Kissing babies while stealing their lollipops.

The boomers are the biggest generation in the country. Hard to believe they would ever vote in someone who would cut their retirement payments. And the Gen Xers are likely to vote with the Boomers since they don't want Mom and Dad going broke and moving in with them.
