Just to share a little good news..... I made the trip down to our retirement folks yesterday for a sit down with a counselor. It seems there's actually a little light at the end of the tunnel for the first time in my life.
Bottom line is that I get paid once a month...and I have 34 more paychecks to go. It sure felt good to see that in black and white.
You watch, Swampy will surely beat me out the door. Ba$tard......

Congrats 2LZ! Always good to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

And you are correct, it appears you will have 23 more paychecks to go when my skinny butt slides out this door for good.

Weldangrind · 07-19-2018, 11:32 AM

Ugh, by that math, I have 180 to go.

GlennR · 07-19-2018, 11:37 AM

I just ran my finances through a retirement calculator, I should be able to retire comfortably when I'm 117 yrs old.

wheelbender6 · 07-19-2018, 09:54 PM

I'll be about 5 years behind you, Hellkitty.

A coworker of mine used to say that he was looking forward to freedom 75 or his first heart attack.
