Retirement is closer than I thought.

[wildbill1973z28]

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.

When I did the math, I could not make the numbers add up to me waiting past 62!

Mine was @ $100k. That was @ 25yrs ago. What did you have done??

Quadruple bypass

They gave me a drug call plavix, about 2% of the population can't tolerate that drug and they almost killed me with it before they got me squared away

I wanted to retire before I was 25. So at 26, I came up with a plan to retire by 50. Did whatever I had to, to keep it going. Well that didn't work either, but at least it was a plan. And that's far better than none

My 63rd birthday was last Sunday (June 01) talked to a budy today who had forgotten.
He said birthdays just arent as meaningful as when you were a kid.
I said well it does start the two year countdown to medicare qualification, which give me more freedom to choose.

It's good to celebrate, but lets forget the number of years......

My wife said something that day. I said , honey, so you think I still act like I am young?
She said no, I said you are childish....
