I plan on working until I die. No point even considering ‘retirement’ the way things are. Even my house is basically a burden now, thanks to the game-playing.

But, that’s okay. I probably wouldn’t know what to do with myself if I wasn’t working, so, shrug.

That makes three of us. I do it to attempt to justify the SS I receive. Considering what I payed in and my taxes, I may be close to justifying.

Let's hope your employer feels the same way.

I retired this year. I would be more than delighted if the government would return to me all the money that they have deducted, in constant dollars with the meager return of treasury certificates. For this I would sign any damn thing they want that says they owe me nothing and I am entitled to nothing from them. I would have far more money and better health insurance.

The real hell of it is, if means testing happens I am so truly screwed.

"I plan on working until I die.

I'm there with you. If I can keep a halfway decent job where I can take a couple of week-long vacations during the year I'll consider myself doing well.

Lacking so much in imagination, huh?

So did I.

But then all of my customers went to China.

And I am too old to start over in a new industry.

So keep that in mind and have a fall back plan.

It can happen to you.

I am drawing SS now but I am still working. I only get a part of it and would supposedly have benefited if I had waited a couple of years to draw the whole big wad (about 700 a month). My take on it was get what I can now. It ain’t gonna be there at some point in the future, maybe next week.
