I have been loyal to the same employer for almost 31 years, I worked a couple places 8 years before that, part time, college jobs etc. Planning for retirement since day one. Will be 56 my next BD. As the time to turn in my letter grows closer, I am having trouble with the reality that the time that I have planned for and thought about and counted down to for the last 10 years is just around the corner.
Wife Plans to work part time 2 more years, I have hobbies, interests and property to work on and maintain, yet I still wonder if I am ready. My only concern financially is health care insurance, which I am sure is shared by many. I can lock in a Monthly rate for the next two years that is doable, but I am concerned what we will do if the costs skyrocket in two years.
Guess it boils down to... go for it and worry less OR work till I am Medicare age or closer to it.
Any thoughts or advice from the crowd? Someone please encourage me to take the plunge!!!
. My Employer would like 3 months notice. Would like to be out before Christmas and paid out by the end of the year. Job is a good one and having one of the best parking spots does have advantages, but I am looking forward to leaving my Truck in the Garage at home as well.
