No, I’m not going to give it a rest!
What’s the matter? You can’t stand someone pointing out the truth that Rick Perry doesn’t have the sense to wait and collect retirement later, which would be to his political advanatage?
Sorry about your state taxes. Are you in Oregon or Washington state?
The state of Texas says if you're age + your service in the military and government adds up to 80 (61 + 20 years service) you can get retirement benefits.
Heck you can join the military at 18 and retire at 38.
By the way, my wife was unemployed for a year too while I was building a struggling service business. I have 3 kids and a mortgage and 2 car payments. You persevere with faith toward God. He will sustain you and bring you the job you need. What other people are doing has no bearing on that.
I went into debt keeping things a float until things turned.
Read this....this is Texas management of state funds:
