And as far as retiring at 48, let them. If somebody can sit on assembly line and do the same thing 300 times a day for years on end they should be rewarded, I know I couldn't do it.

If all goes well I should be able to retire for the first time at 50, no I don't work for the auto industry, but I have worked for the same employer since I was 19, and by the time I get my thirty years in I will be lucky if I can still walk. Most of us that drive for the the big brown man either have desrtoyed our knees or our backs by the time we retire, and our average life expectancy is only 3 years after retirement ... I guess our bodies are just plain worn out ! I hope to start a second career after I "retire" so maybe I can live a while longer, I still have two young children that I would like to see grow up, and maybe see drive my new Camaro some day !!!!!
