Almost every week now or more often, in our organization, we hear of someone retiring. Now, it's 14,000 employees in a govn't organization. So some of these folks have been around for a huge chunk of their working life.

And these folks around my/our age. Yet, I just joined this organization to begin work again.

It feels abit wierd, you know. I almost envy them. I say "almost", because I'm too young to retire.

As we used to say back in the day, Orchid, "Keep on truckin'"

Go for it! You certainly ARE too young to retire!

My boss joked with me on my birthday that I was now "employment optional" meaning I could take early SS, but then I'd have no health insurance after the 18 months of COBRA, so I guess I'll have to wait a couple more years.

I drop down on my knees thanking the powers that be for Social Security and Medicare. It takes the edge of being retired off so one can relax and enjoy being free from the daily grind. Untril itr comes in however life can be tricky. I just kept on working way past retirement age, it had to be done.

Once aqain I hear freom the politicians wanting to lower or dissolve Social Security. What do they expect those of us finally being able to get back what we have paid in all these long years to live on if they do that? If they all would hyave left alone what we all paid in there would never be any fear of losing it now, but they robbed the fund and now those "who'll ever have to live off of it," want to take it away for good. It is enough to make a person want to scream...
