April of '09 for me, and I'm going on the teat immediately, basically just to piss off the X-ers on this board. Screw 'em.
2032 for me. . . oh wait. . . damn.
Amen! Good for you, I’m just not ready to give it up yet, got a few more years to contribute something. As long as the mind is willing! ;-)
Despite the general censuses, us ol’ farts still have something to give to our “youngers”.
“April of ‘09 for me, and I’m going on the teat immediately, basically just to piss off the X-ers on this board. Screw ‘em.”
May of ‘09 for me. However, I only get 40% of SS, because I worked over half of my life under SS, and then the last almost half for a State gov’t entity, a public university. Thus, I paid into the State university retirement system for those years, and even though I have all my credits because of having worked the majority half of my life under SS, I will only get 40% of SS. So, if I take out my SS at 62, I will get two cents waiting for change. If I wait until I am 66 (which is my official can retire year) I will get four cents waiting for change. Haven’t made up my mind yet whethet its better to take the two cents for a longer period or the 4 cents by waiting, although one can indeed croak and not get to the 4 cents part. Decisions, decisions.
April of ‘09 for me too.1947 was a very good year.I have been paying into SS for 45 years and I intend to live to be a hundred and draw ten times what I paid in.
