It's early yet, but this one is looking pretty damn good so far. I am planning to announce my retirement today.

IlikeStarTrek, Your situation sounds a lot like mine. I should be fine financially to retire now at 55 but the PT gives a little buffer for travel and such. Unlike you, however, my PT job is a much different role. I will be trying to go back to a technical role (coding) that I have been out...

Going PT Well I verbally agreed to take a part time job today. Now I have to start the process of retiring from my current job. My wife stops working at the end of this school year although it will be 5 years before she gets any retirement. With the pension I will get as soon as I retire...

For those of you who worked part time before fully retiring, are you happy that you did so or do you wish now that you had just gone ahead and completely retired to begin with?

Thank you Rianne. The surgery was a complete success. An adhesion creating a loop in the small intestine. Found and fixed.

Obstruction I am sitting in the hospital right now watching my son sleep after 6 days of testing, pain and vomiting. Tomorrow they will operate to fix what they have finally diagnosed as a small bowel obstruction. He's a tough young man but this has been a hellish ordeal even by the standards...

At the moment, my cash allocation is too high and I want to do something more productive with some of it. So my objective for the 10% would be to let it grow as much as possible. I will have enough income from my pension and other investments so that I will not need access to this money or any...

In addition, there is an option called the Voluntary Contribution Program which would allow me to contribute an amount of my savings (limited to...

evilanne, thank you for the well wishes for my son. I don't suppose I've given a whole lot of thought to a legacy outside of my family itself. My wife and I both want to include community service and charitable giving in our retirement lives.

Golden sunsets, the land has been in my family for a few generations so, yes, I guess there is some sentimental aspect to keeping it. Aside from a little timber money, we have enjoyed it for hunting and fishing but that will subside, for now, as everyone has gotten busier and more spread out...

Thanks, Ready. I would love to be able to say that my situation was completely due to careful planning, however, I have been helped greatly by inheriting the land and about half of the investments. I guess I feel a responsibility to keep the ball rolling. One of my concerns is that my youngest...

Hello all. My wife and I are 54 and are looking to retire next year. I will receive a cola’d pension of $76K . We currently pay $2k/mo in mortgage but will be selling our house and moving into a lake house that we own outright. At that point we will be debt free. We are planning to put the house...
