Haven't posted here in a while......how's everybody doing?

Happy belated New Year to all.

I finally can see light at the end of the tunnel......I have narrowed down my retirement and move South to July 2020! By that November, we will have a Florida address!!

Crazy weather these days, 60+ yesterday, now tomorrow (Saturday) cold and some snow expected!!! Just enough to make things crappy on the roads.

Peace to all!!
Andy

Hi Andy! Good to hear from you. Glad you have a date to shoot for. I just asked Hubby to sit down with me & come up with a date for me to retire we can agree on. I want to start marking it off on a calendar. My younger sister (5 years younger) is retiring in July & moving to Fla. I don't want to move but daily long to retire.

We have not put down a date yet but our current goal is summer\fall of 2023. Too far out to count down yet but close enough to see and plan for. We talked with a financial planner who went over our income, savings, and expenses and we are on track to meet that date and our pension and retirement savings should be enough to live comfortably on.

For us it is more about health insurance. Lots of questions in that area right now.

[zandron263]

Health Insurance is a real concern to have. Right now Jackie has lifetime insurance with her employer. There is a monthly premium with it but its pretty affordable. Of course we are praying it does not get negotiated away in a future contract. Luckily the amount of employees left that qualify for it is small so not much would be saved by getting them to give it up.

If you are going, get your Fest wristbands. Car show & NCM track slots are expected to sell out pretty quickly. Bought mine for 3 days of track fun!

I am just finding this thread. At 62 (is that my IQ and age both?), I am doing my best to resist growing up.

Welcome=== I don't really think anyone on this thread has even thought about growing up yet.

Welcome aboard! Lots of great folks hang out here.

My Friday & today at work were days from H-E double hockey sticks. Friday was to be expected being Friday the 13th & a full moon but it was exceptionally bad. Today was just full of one frustration after the other. Just not sure how long I will have the frustration tolerance to keep doing this job. Gotta find me something low stress I can do part time so I can retire.

Trying to watch for ya Rick!

I browsed through a few of the posts regarding retirement and healthcare. I know that is an equation that I have had a bit of an issue with solving, at least till I turn 65.

Morning Everyone! I've been extremely busy since the New Year. Entered my ZL1 in Wanna Go Fast this Saturday in Ocala. Last year my fastest half mile time was 137.228 MPH. Weather is expected to be better than last year. Hoping to get into the 140's this year. I'll post pics from event.

Maybe when I retire in October this year I can finally do some driving with my 2011 Camaro. As long as the macular degeneration gets no worse in my right eye. My car only has 16,000 miles.
