Retirement Jobs

[Abscate]

I had the same sit down with all the kids.

Enter work force between 22-25 depending on grad/ prof school.

Over next five years, until age 30, save 50k in equities. While there friends showed off their leased new cars, I put together $1000 beaters for them to drive as their retirement gift, early edition. The car payments were the difference.

Congratulations, you are done with retirement cash need.

I retired in May from my career of 30 years. I have a pension and investments.

I knew that I was going to continue, to work, post-retirement, in a totally different capacity because a) I can't sit still, b) I need to be responsible to someone else, and c) I need to be on a schedule.

Now, almost 5 months later, I am in better shape than I was 15 years ago, and I have NO STRESS due to the nature of the differences between what I used to do and what I do now.

One last tip fro the young.

Don’t count on pensions. They can be underfunded, scammed, emptied by Wall Street a lot easier than the free market. It is a different era than your Grandfathers era of corporate responsibility.


In our town, the Catholic Church, operating budget approximately 170B annual , walked away from the pensions of affiliated hospital saying the money wasn’t there and left the retirees dry. Legally, they had separated the finances of the Hospital from the Church

There was a call for a State bailout which failed , rightly so.

Keep control of your money directly, invest to the pain level as early as you can, and don’t leave match/ deferred comp on the table

I retired sept. 2 years ago, between std. pension, social security, enhanced 401K, annuities from Northwestern Mutual Life, and no debt, we are pretty well set no complaints. However, just for extra toy money, I drive cars fro a big local auto dealer that does trades with other dealers. I am the out of state guy, if a straight trade, I take a new car, drive to a dealer in another state, and bring a car back. Sometimes I fly, get picked up and taken to whatever dealer and just drive a car home. out of state trades gets me anywhere from 9-20 hours in a drive, i can get a hotel if I get to tired, all reimbursed. I usually do 1 big run a week. About as mellow a gig as you could have, absolutely no stress.

Got a roof over our heads and lots to eat, anything more at this point is a bonus.

Speaking of jobs though I just got back from a 6 week temporary job that paid pretty well for what it was. One or two of those a year will finance a few luxuries!

My uncle Neil had a Honda Scambler.

I rode one of those. I rolled it over easy.

After I read the link I’m about to post it dawned on me I had something along those lines a 1970 CL450 Honda. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CL77

Back on topic though I have not been retired long enough to think about getting a job😀 I’m still setting up my revenue streams. I’m thinking about sitting on a park bench and watching pretty girls like aqualung.
