Retirement...
Thanks so much, I definitely will sit down and figure it out before taking drastic measures.
Retirement?
Not me, I am going to die in my chair with my foot on the pedal unless I win the lottery!
Patti, my retirement age is 67
not 64, not 66 and I think they are going up on the age requirements as I speak. As you probably know, folks living longer now and that is the reason behind that. I can draw social security now in 1 year and 10 months. Can we say goody, good and hope those fingers hold out!
The age for some retirement has changed
I am almost 65 (next March) and my retirement age is 67. It has gone up with people living longer and people born around my year and later will find their social security starts later than 65. I am still working and hope to continue- I have retirement money starting next April from place outsourced from (being independent contractor, that will probably pay part of my taxes for the month, ha!) I guess I should go ahead and contact SS so I can find out if and when I should sign up.

Close to retirement age (for me), if you could would you
take a reduction of 6% on your social security if you could - mine starts at age 66 and next year I will be 65 so that late would only mean 6% off instead of full social by the age of 66. If you had a chance, would you do that or would you wait until full and then draw plus being able to work?
If I was close to retirement, then I'd
work in a flower or gift shop or even a coffee shop part-time. It's hard to make any money doing this anymore since everything is either going low-pay/high ESL, or voice recognition, which in my opinion does not save your wrists, and you get paid less to do more as far as I'm concerned. I'm in a bad mood today, can you tell? Sorry to take it out on you, but you asked. I'm no where near retirement age by the way.
oh joy. there should be a retirement age, as in mandatory. NM

Having retirement, investments good but
what has happened recently with these as it pertains to the economy we are in? I worry because an elderly aunt of mine has investments which her son oversees but I have the feeling hers has probably dropped quite a bit. I have not asked but most have these days.
Retirement and info on MTs who are semi-retired
Ok, fellow workers, MTs has answered questions in the past for me. I am almost 64 and would like to be a part-time employee and get my social security; however it is of concern to me about how much a person can make a month and how many hours you are allowed to work. I hear money is taken from your SS check if you make over so much a month. I would get now $1500 plus a month from SS but I enjoy working and even work some overtime so just concerns. Anyone out there with any thoughts about this, sure would enjoy hearing from you. TIA
I am close to retirement age and got property taxes
just a few days ago, about $2,250.00- I called and asked if I got anything off when I reached another age, say 70 or so and was told in 2009 I will have reached the golden age of 65 and my taxes would be only about $800.00 per year! Good Golly Miss Molly, talk about good news! The school tax break comes through then for me. There are some good things that come with aging and this is one!
Retirement home/assisted living
Go to one of the retirement homes or the higher class assisted living complexes in your area that has a beauty shop in it and I bet dollars to doughnuts that they can give you what you want as that is how they do it for the ladies in those areas.
In April I start getting retirement money
Ok, don’t tell me to ask my accountant, don’t have so thought I would ask here. I plan on continuing to work because I want to. I am in the 30% tax range. Normally I would pay $600 per month as an independent on my taxes. With the new income, I should be paying $750.00 a month and that would be what I am making now plus the new retirement, which, of course, is counted as income and I have to pay taxes on that. This is what I am thinking- taking the $500+ per month and now I only have to take bimonthly $125.00 per month and that with the $500 per month and pay my income taxes. Does anyone have any ways to make this money grow until I pay my taxes quarterly? Banking of any kind, CDs, bonds, whatever. Any ideas out there? Thanks.
Mine hit 50% for me. So long, retirement dreams!
