Retirement

posted by Fab4Runner

My husband will probably practice law until he dies, even if it's just a few clients here and there. 

I really have no idea when I'll retire. I'd like to stay home for a few years if/ when we have kids, but that's also a wait and see situation. 

Reminds me of my father in law. He's 71 and in terrible health. He can barely walk short distances without being sore and is frequently in/out of hospital. But he's a psychologist and loves what he does and doesn't really have any huge hobbies outside of work. 

Some folks are just like that.

At the postal facility I retired from, whoever has the most seniority at the time is given the nickname "Number One", and is usually addressed that way by everyone who knows them until they retire

The current Number One will have 65 years of seniority next year.  The guy's amazing.  He loves his job, always has a smile on his face and a friendly word for everyone.  He was like that when I first met him 30 years ago, when he'd been there "only" 34 years.  

He'll die before he gives up that nickname.

Well I hope it doesn't go like that for us, lol. My husband is a pretty healthy guy and he has several hobbies, but he does love his job. 

I thought I had a pretty decent plan. Currently my plan is to retire as soon as I can start withdrawing from my 401k at 59 1/2. Depending on my 401k performance and what happened to health insurance at that time. I'm pretty flexible but I do not enjoy corporate life. If something better comes along, I'll jump on it. 

Take a shit on Brenda's desk.

I already retired once last year, and am now onto a second career to retire from.
