Retirement is closer than I thought.

[Coach]

Received an email from Corporate May 23, it was a voluntary retirement incentive offer.
I'm jumping on it, and I'm already starting to practice retirement.

They offered 2 years of the same benefits I have now, and 6 months' severance pay.
I'm 63, so it works out perfect, even better I can pick my last day with the farthest date being Nov 23
which is my wife's birthday. So, when the 2 years are up, I'll be 65 and she'll be 64, so I'll need to
buy 1 year insurance for her.

I started with the company when I was 20, I'll have over 43 years in, I'm ready.

Congrats.Nothing like a couple of extra years to enjoy life.
I got hit with a similar offer when I retired. Best thing ever.

Good for you!!!
hope that last year of wife insurance isn't too bad....I understand it can get EXPENSIVE....but it's only 1 year
I'm lucky doing what I do...71, and can take work if I choose to, or not....gives me something to do, keeping me from spending on the net!!

Congrats! I retired in October last year and wife just retired last month. She is going g to work a few PRN days to help out her old boss with coverage. I told her once she is off a month, helping out will be hard regardless of the money. Alarm clock and fighting traffic are the two best thing that disappeared in retirement.

I used to be retired, but since my wife retired last year now I work for her!
