4 more days to retirement! Anyone else retiring this year? I did not plan to retire but when you look at the numbers, there’s no reason not to retire if you meet the formula. I had been going to retirement seminars annually for the past 5 years, wanted to make it to 30 years but…why? Working additional years does not give you much more in terms of monthly pension check so…

Hope y’all have an easy end of year!

First, congrats. I truly wish you well and admittedly am slightly jealous.

Second, as of today, I CAN RETIRE!!! I am fully eligible. But I’m not. Since you asked “but why,” I still enjoy what I am doing and the difference I still make. Plus I still have two kids not settled and a wife who needs to get in two more years. So life goes on. And for the next two years, two full incomes beat pension money. But knowing that I can jump ship at any time for any reason brings a BIG smile to my face.
