Recent statement from Dr. Birx: I knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection. And I think we overplayed the vaccines, and it made people then worry that it's not going to protect against severe disease and hospitalization. It will. But let's be very clear: 50% of the people...

Thanks. Got 6/6. The last question stopped me as I thought they were looking for a really "simple" answer based on the simplicity of most of the questions. In the end, I went with the literal, mathematical answer and was correct.... ;D

Yes, great exercise, depending on how you use it. I was on a high end full-suspension mountain bike but also bought an e-bike version (Specialized Turbo Levo - crank based motor - pedal assist - ~$6k). I sold my regular bike after a few months of having the e-bike. I ride intermediate to...

I never thought I was claustrophobic before having an MRI a few years ago. I told them I didn't think I needed any sedation. I laid on the table and the tech slid me in. While he spent maybe two minutes setting up the machine, I was feeling somewhat panicky. I finally told him to pull me out...

While working, DW and I always lived below our means. We would do a planning budget from time to time to better understand where all the money was going, and used it as a tool to make decisions. Living frugally meant we didn't have to stick to a strict spending budget. We always made sure our...

Thank you all for the insight and opinions :coolsmiley: As far as the start of SS, we are at least 4 years out from earliest date so don't know yet as tax & SS laws and regs may change by the time we get there. Assuming the PBGC pays 100% replacement, it looks like we would be covered as...

Thanks stepford....I appreciate the link. That annuity calculator is helpful. Dave....sounds good....I am leaning towards that. Was just wondering if I was missing something in the mix....thanks.

I've heard of people stacking memberships onto existing ones or gifting themselves the next year and scheduling when theirs expires. Might be a few possibilities...... Sent from my iPad using Early Retirement Forum

Best of luck with the new venture!

Well, last year DW and I nailed down my retirement date as April 30th. Obviously that date has passed and I am still working. There were a number of personnel changes late 2014 and early 2015, then the announcement that we're being bought out by another company. I decided to stay on a bit longer...
