How Much Is Enough
-
I’ll pull my pension in 2 years
probaly keep working another 5-7
The mrs has an equivalent retirement plan so we’re good unless it disappeares
-
I've always operated with the thought that if you didn't have a net worth of seven digits left of the decimal point then you probably shouldn't retire. Now I'm starting to think the first digit of the seven needs to be a crooked number. And don' depend on Social Security.

Nobody should depend on Social Security I don't think that's what it was meant for. In other news people shouldn't assume that they can feed an entire family and pay rent on minimum wage. Kind of an incentive to take a little responsibility for their own finances. You are substantially younger than I am, I'm 68, and the reason I won't retire to because I like what I do. I'm guessing you do too.
But if we have another depression we're all fucked anyway..

I'm in your same boat, with the bad back.. I've put it off for years.. the pain is beyond putting off any longer. Chro's to Therapy, I've tried it all. Between my L4 & L5, I have a bone settling in against a nerve... Surgeon wants to trim (her words... grind ?) that bone back away from the nerve.. I've read nothing good in results
good luck to ya...
58 years young & I'm done working the stroke of midnight on the date I can retire.. enough, will have to be enough !

Congrats on everybody retiring ! it's awesome in my book. I dealt with knee pain for many years. My knee was reconstructed in the summer after the ninth grade. I was retired when my knee completely gave out one evening at the grocery. I literally fell into her and she kept me from going to the floor.
I tried to hide it, but my Wife cried and said no more - you have to get your knee replaced. She knew I couldn't take the pain anymore.
So, I did. My surgeon, one of the very best, said my knee was the second worst he'd ever seen of thousands in his career.
Medicare and supplemental took care of most all the bill. Don't wait, guys - the pain takes it's toll... at least for a temporary amount of time. I hope your back surgeries go excellently. Find the best dr around.

I looked into my crystal ball to see how they will answer:
Trump trump Trump trump
I don't really doubt they are embarrassed but they just can't admit it. Still Democrats and the Press try to softsell the upcoming depression.
Even if Joe Manchin doesn't bend over I can't imagine it's not on the way.

After 6 weeks of retirement in March of this year, my boss called me and asked if I wanted to come back.
I told him flatly….NO.
Then he asked if I would consider part time, and I agreed providing I could work from home.
Since the wife passed away, it gives me something to do in the mornings.

Stock market is robust and consumer prices increase can be mitigated with individual decisions. Rising oil/energy prices are always a concern but one would hope that demand levels off as people spend their, “we didn’t travel during COVID nest egg”

So sad about that. Stay strong - I would probably go live in the woods in a tent or something I'd be so lost.
