I am considering to dragging the boat out of the river and docking it behind the house. It does not want to stop raining here!

Well, twist up my testicles and fly me to Tijuana, the doctor I saw said that I needed a blood test and I should have been having them regularly for the past 20 years or so. The annoying part is that I bet she's ignored by her colleagues on account of being a muslim and a woman, and yet she spotted something in a few seconds that nobody else seems to have thought worth bothering about. All done now.

Oh that's right...you're retired....well.... I can no longer like you....mostly due to jealousy and envy... but that is the way it has to be....at least until I retire.... then... well...you'll be ok again......

I am indeed retired. Having a good time, so far. My annuity payments have started, and I should start receiving payments from my thrift savings (federal equivalent to a 401k). Because I'm turning 55 later this year, I am able to take advantage of the "rule of 55" to access my TSP funds without early withdrawal penalties.
Planning another drive down to AZ in a few weeks. It's going to be hot as hell, but I'll be glad to spend some more time with my parents.

Doing great. I was thinking about you, too, as I roasted some anaerobic coffee from Flores Indonesia. It's really yummy.

"Uncle David! Coffee!"
There was no coffee, she just wanted to see me. I'm not sure what I've done to deserve such devotion, but it's kind of nice.

That's the same year when I retired. Back then I had to wait until 59 and 1/2 before I could take money out of my TDSP.

The only payment I will wait for is Social security. I am and when I retire, I will be over 60, but not yet old enough for full Social Security. My pension will start at the speed of the state in which I work..... so a couple months...they aren't very speedy.
I took SS when I was 62. I could get more if I wait until 65 or even 70. But I think those extra years could make difference.
One guy retired from IBM. In the first month of his retirement life, one day he drove to airport and had a car accident. He died in that car accident. He didn't even have chance to draw his 1st month pension check from IBM.
I don't know which is worse.
- One dies but hasn't spent all his money.
- One has spent all his money but still alive.
