To revisit the schmo script: 1. Be a fat, unlikeable ****. 2. Make completely unrelated threads about me. Even if the original thread is dealing with some very heavy topics. 3. Double or triple down because I’m an entitled boomer with zero ability to read a room. 4. Feel the bad PR and offer some money to quiet things down. |

Get that Fred Meyer job and show them what you can do!
Don't listen to scho. Yes your belly will be full of cheap pasta and cheaper hookers but then you just spent all your money on cheap pasta and cheaper hookers |

Fred Meyers is like a cult, you go in and stay forever. Their employee retention is pretty amazing. You would be surprised how many whole families work there. Mom, dad, kids, the whole works.
I haven't been to Newport in a long time. It will always hold a special place in my heart as that is where we spread my mother and father's ashes after they were gone. I don't think I could ever live there as it is just way too cloudy and cold a lot but I can see why you went there. Loved Rouge Brewing, Copper River salmon, the crab and seafood in general. I never got the big deal everyone made about Mo's. You still have that little asian grocers off HWY 20 just before you come into town? The little organic grocers by the recreation center. I used to always train there, get groceries and come back. The one bad thing I have to say is I don't think I have ever seen a place with more morbidly obese people. For those of you that have never been down the Oregon coast it's pretty amazing. From the rock formations to the Redwoods and hiking trails, pretty sweet. Glad you are getting good news, sounds like you will be back on your feet soon. |

I got laid off in dec after 16 years at my job. They sent a lot of the IT work to India and the Philippines. It sucks, we are hurting but my wife has a job so that is good.
I see you are in Newport, quite a long way from Washougal but let me know what I can do to help you out. |

A few things.
I've seen that you considered waiting to max payout SS range but reconsidered. Keep with that. My financial advisors have advised me to not make that move. Some posters are just natural ****s. They always eventually simmer to the top. If you try to get back into tech and need someone to look over your resume, you can always PM it to me. Now that I've done it long enough, I'd feel comfortable picking it apart and telling you why you're not getting call backs. Ageism is very real in IT but it shouldn't keep you from getting any interviews. And good luck with the job interview. |

If a persons everyday living expenses are satisfied by what SS pays even at 62 that could be a great reason to start taking distributions. What about your spouses SS? What happens if one of you passes? Just saying that starting SS at age 62 vs full age isn’t the same for every person and every situation. |
