To be clear I was born in 1959 and my retirement age was “adjusted” to 66 years and 10 months. Not a problem as I really like my job and retirement doesn’t interest me atm.
Was lucky to retire at 70 after putting our kids through college and paid off the house. Spent my entire professional life abroad and traveled like a merchant mariner. Wife and kids not always happy with our living locations throughout the world but that is what you get with a masters in Engineering. Best feature of my life was the long vacations while working abroad. Get used to being underemployed if you live in America. It could be worse — you could be standing in the Rio Grande river poking at the razor wire. The good news is that global unemployment is not endless. History shows that it is interrupted by world wars to alleviate the despair and pain of sitting at home with nothing to do. Not to worry — Brandon says that we will have the best economy in the world and who am I to question his promise.
