    WEP Calculator Confusion - Appears to be a Ceiling

    How does WEP work if you choose to receive your pension, which is affected by WEP, as a lump sum? For example, I can receive my small corporate pension from an overseas company as a lump sum at age 55 or a bigger lump sum at 65 or as monthly pension starting from 65. If I started receiving...

    Being Forced Out

    How would you go about getting a medical evaluation in this case? Can you get medical disability due to work-related stress? Does it have to be clinical depression? What type of doctor would you go to?

    Being Forced Out

    But you can still file a wrongful termination lawsuit or a discrimination complaint. The whole thing looks like age discrimination to me.

    Being Forced Out

    Document everything. Keep a log of events including rule violations. If there are colleagues who can act as witnesses in the future to support her legal claim, kerp that in mind. Perhaps they are suffering too and would be happy to stick it to managers. Talk to a lawyer. Consider filing...

    Move to Vietnam and get retired when I get enough saving

    Also considering it. I haven't been to Da Nang yet, but from what I know it's probably the best place to retire in Vietnam

    Places abroad to retire, claimed to be affordable.

    Do you speak Hungarian? Would you recommend Hungary as a place for retirement for somebody who doesn't know the language or have Hungarian ancestry?

    Portfolio and and retirement plan critique. Do I have enough?

    I don't think anybody will beg me to stay in my current job or offer any significant promotions anytime soon, but I agree with you that I can already breathe easier having the resources I have and being frugal. I also agree that in my current situation, one year of working equals a few (3+)...

    Portfolio and and retirement plan critique. Do I have enough?

    The Philippines program is probably one of the easiest in the world for early retirees right now. I am considering it, but I am still not sure whether or not I would retire in the Philippines. It's a nice place to visit (parts of it anyway), not sure about living there long term.

    There is also an early retirement program in the Philippines for persons over 35 y.o. You can either put $20K in a bank account as a collateral (don't know if they pay interest) or invest $50K+ in local real estate to get a retirement visa. A foreigner can buy apartments but not land there. As...

    Portfolio and and retirement plan critique. Do I have enough?

    Yes, this is one of the options I am considering. The difficult part is, though, having to find a place to stay while you work part time, especially in the HCOL area where I live. I don't have any family here, so I can't just crash at their place while working and keep some of my stuff there...

    Portfolio and and retirement plan critique. Do I have enough?

    I'll never aim for 100% or even 95% success rate. However, it would be nice to be able to cut discretionary expenses and/or have some room to cover emergency costs such as medical. On $1500/month, it's not impossible but very difficult. So, if I manage to save let's say $600K, I'll aim for...

    Portfolio and and retirement plan critique. Do I have enough?

    I work in financial services. Perhaps I'm being a little paranoid here, but I'd rather not get into the specifics of what I do given how much I have already disclosed about myself. What's relevant here is that I have acquired most of my technical skills while working for big companies, so my...

    Portfolio and and retirement plan critique. Do I have enough?

    Psychopath is probably too strong a word, but I've worked for a number of a-holes recently and also had to deal with rude colleagues. Unfortunately, these people seem to be more and more common in the corporate world these days. I agree that clients can also be a-holes, but at least if I have...

    Portfolio and and retirement plan critique. Do I have enough?

    I agree 100%. Here's the thing though.. I know this is what I should be doing. Like people know they shouldn't be drinking or stuffing their faces, but many still do. So yes, I have only myself to blame for not having started a side gig while I'm still employed. I'll do my best to start it as...

    Portfolio and and retirement plan critique. Do I have enough?

    I haven't read the Millionaire Next Door, but I came across the same idea several times in different blogs and podcasts about freelancing and location independence. I agree that full time employment is not what it used to be. I also notice that it's getting worse every year.

    I have, and you are correct. Mid 80s prob of success is what I get.

    Portfolio and and retirement plan critique. Do I have enough?

    I don't mind doing what I currently do, but the problem is that there is always a bad apple (or a few) in management who pushes too hard for no good reason and makes other people's lives hell. Even if I find a new job and manage to vet my would be bosses, they move around frequently, so a few...

    I am not expecting very much from social security. As of now, I have enough years (using the "totalization agreement" with a European country where I also worked) to qualify for Social Security, but will probably get very little. However, If i register as self employed and run a part time...

    Portfolio and and retirement plan critique. Do I have enough?

    I'm trying to find out how much exactly I'll be receiving from the pension scheme and what the conditions are. I use Mint and Personal Capital to track expenses and investments, but I've never been good at recording every expense and budgeting. I watch how much money comes in and out and...
