Retirement is for the rich.

Who can afford to retire these days.

I make more in retirement than I did when I was working. It just took a little planning.

“I make more in retirement than I did when I was working. It just took a little planning.”

Thats a pretty rare thing these days. The company who bought us last year is planning to give the IT dept the boot at the end of 2024 and no one out there is willing to hire a 60+ year old IT guy these days.

I’m figuring the best thing financially for my family is for me to drop dead before I get the layoff so they can collect on the Life Insurance.

Same here. for over 25 years I put 8% away in a 401(k). 3 percent of that was matching funds by the company.
