Guess you heard, SS will be in trouble years earlier than the last prediction. Now I think it's 2037 instead of 2041 before it busts, and 2016 before it pays out more than it takes in. I will probably be able to get something out of it (I'm 51 and plan on taking SS at 62), but for how long...

I'm thinking about doing this next year. For some reason the timing of the 72(t) withdrawls messes me up, especially when they talk about age 59 1/2. Where in the world did that come from? What's the reason for the 1/2, why isn't it just your simple age on your birthday? What I'm confused about...

I'm single and 49 and worked the same Company for 22 years. I have a pension that I am going to use starting at 55. I also have $326k in IRA/401k funds. House and cars are paid off - no debt. I calculated I need $18k to live for a year absolute minimum (including a health and dental policy), but...

Hi all. I'm considering retiring early (55 or before) but have a few questions and found this forum. I have worked for an Aerospace company for 22 years, and luckily have built up a decent 401k/IRA and also have a pension plan. No kids or wifey, just two cats and they don't need to go to...
