Well I might hang on to a few of them. Thought I would introduce myself sense I've been hanging around for months. I'm 61 and DW is 64. She retired last year and I'm planning on hanging it up at the end of this year. I'll be 62 in February so I figure I'll just limp along on unemployment as long as my union health care remains active. At 62 I'll start one of my two pensions and purchase health insurance through the union. I've been in the construction industry for 41 years and believe me the thrill is gone. No real questions at this time, just wanted to say hey before I start looking for advice. I'm pretty skilled at a lot of things but financial planning isn't one of them. I'm comfortable walking a steel beam 80 feet in the air but I think trying to build a spreadsheet would kill me. Thanks to everyone who contributes to this forum and especially to the moderators for running a tight ship. I belong to a couple of motorcycle forums and it's amazing how quickly they can spiral out of control.
