Retirement

[rwess]

Two weeks to go until the big day! Retired USN 21 years of active duty and 4 years of active reserve (reserve time was when I was going to college). 10+ years of NJROTC Instructor (Georgia teacher retirement) and I turn 62 in July, Social Security also. Work longer and get more social Security, no way. My wife and I are ready to go camping!

Congrads to all you retirees........don't wait around, go enjoy life while you can!

I'm still a few years out, but that is our plan, and has been for a long time!

You may want to look into your specfic Social Security account. If you have enough money from other sources that you really don't need SS right away you can still wait, not continue working and your SS payments will go up roughly 8%/year till you are 70.5 years old. That is my plan unless I start running out of money. The other advantage to this, depending on your wifes SS account, she gets yours or hers if she survives you which can make a big difference.

I'm right with you. I teach at a Community College and my retirement date is last day of the semester - June 6. I'm leaving a week later to do a stint as CG host at a campground in Sequoia National Park. Will be there thru Sept.

Hope you enjoy retirement as much as I plan to enjoy mine!

Thank you for your service.
You're making the right decision. Go enjoy yourselves and travel while you can.
You don't know what life will hand you tomorrow.

Enjoy your travels.
