Had I taken my own advice, I could have started working for the state when I first moved to Juneau. I would then be Tier I and would have been eligible to retire at age 55. That lapse in judgment cost me 5 more years of working. Oh well. I'm more concerned with 60 being too young to retire, Suze Orman insists you should be at least 62. And for me to get my entire 30 years in with the state I'd have 6.5 more years to go. Don't think I can do that!! Suze would probably say I need to though. At any rate, my 5 year plan is the same as your Susan!! And I don't want to wish these critical years away because I don't want to be 60 years of age one day sooner than I have to!Dumb Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14687042642876567989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3657625150805629106.post-73686298573272456412014-11-04T07:28:02.409-08:002014-11-04T07:28:02.409-08:00Thankfully your son thinks about retirement becaus...Thankfully your son thinks about retirement because his wife is too worried about finding a job to consider what the next five years will hold. He is really aiming to have us in a position with the *option* to retire at 50. I'm not sure what that'll look like, but I trust him.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16382877280771399496noreply@blogger.com
