Alcap,Now being retired 7 months , talking with friends and family I listen to how some through no fault of their own they will be waiting until late sixties to retire , others have spent instead of saving and those too will be waiting. I feel very fortunate that I worked for a company that talked about retirement , saving . Those early meetings that had representatives from the credit union come in showing how you start saving a little bit it compounds through the years . Then when they offered the 401k they had more information and meetings . Retirement isn’t what you think of when your in your twenties or thirties unless your told . My own brother is going to retire this December at 70 1/2 , he told me he never thought about retirement until a few years ago . Ive talked with my kids and their spouses about saving and the difference when you start early . Most here in the USA won’t have defined pension plans so it makes saving in more important
I may be retired as of a month ago , I just don't know . I know I won't be returning to work until at least mid-April though . This past month has been pretty damn boring in my eyes , be it the weather , not being able to do what I like , whatever . Little odd jobs around the house keep me going at this point , but I really need to get out and do some real outside strenuous work .19 Days!
