• October 28, 2008, on Early Retirement:

  Thanks for the "food for thought" . I have lived within my means and worked a goverment job -for 23 years paying union and pension dues. My pension will be (well under the recommended 70 percent of my $70,000 per year gross income) at 53 percent , wih no debt. The human brain needs refreshing , new stimulation to be healthy; dong the same old job decade -after-decade tends to rot the brain and dry up the soul. My employer seems ill equipted to provide a renewing, refreshing, stimulating workplace. I am getting out asap at 53 years old, whatever the world brings it will have to be better than the stale, unmotivated, retired-on-your-feet condition of many long term goverment employees.
