I'm such a big fan that I recreated a bullpen in my back yard....so there are 2 mounds in my backyard....side by side. And the miniscule etchings on the pitching rubbers are nothing of consequence.

I paid into the system for 45 years and get a substantial amount every month. It covers all taxes, all insurance and all living expenses with about $1200 left for discretionary spending each month. That being said, I have no debt, but may buy a new vehicle in the future. |

I got on medicare at 65. Medicare A&B. I also got the "G" plan and drug plan. Kept all my same doctors. Better coverage and $200 cheaper per month than my employer based insurance. Love it so far.
I had great PPO insurance from my employers. Go see any dr or have a test done at will. No approval needed. But, I'd pay $60 co-pay for office visits and $500 co-pay for MRI's, Cat scans etc. Medicare A&B charge me $159 a month because I made too much money last year. After I turn in my 2023 taxes, I should get it reduced to 0. "G" plan is $159 and drug plan $24 a month. |

And I'm with you, we have very few bills so retirement is looking good, and SS is going to make it even more fun. |

This will be the greatest week of work in your life. The work, the worst case possible, the annoyances won't even register. They just bounce off. Completely irrelevant.
No consequence matters and you can give 110% without reservations. Finish the race strong and walk off smiling... |

Yeah....I see this week as the "home run trot". Because of the work I do, I am not always the most loved person...my job many times is to make fiscal recommendations that the Sales Team does not like to hear. Now those decisions are being made by my successor....and I am just there this week to "clean house" from home. |

I can retire in 14 1/2 months but right now this company I am working for is kicking ass and this could be a year unlike anything I have ever experienced so I will decide last minute in 2025.
For anyone under 50, you're about to be cornholed by our wonderful people in our nations capital who are about to raise the retirement age. |

Because waiting until age 70 isn't always the best course for everyone. If you think you will live to age 90...waiting is right. But if your lifetime left isn't that long that extra 3 year wait may not be right for you. |
