Re: Retirement grows closer

A comfortable retirement, money wise, is determined more by what you have going out than what you have coming in. Just sayin'...

First a golden parachute.

My company got bought out and I could've stayed on. I was offered a job in management I didn't care for or I could take the golden parachute.

I took the chute.

Secondly, a wife who absolutely loved her job (she's just recently retired) and made a fabulous income to help support me in my accustomed life style...

So to sum up: Luck and Love!
That would certainly help. A must in our case was having more coming in than going out; e.g., no mortgage, no car notes, no RV notes, no other notes.

Re: Retirement grows closer

We hung it up at 62 and haven't looked back. Waiting until one is 70 kinda' cuts into the time one has to enjoy the rest of one's allotted time and health. If not the time and health of one, perhaps that of someone close to one? :nopity

Tempus fugit, y'all.
