Congratulations on the retirement. I've been retired since 2009. but it was due to medical and vision issues, put me on Disability starting in 2010, as I am still too young by about 3 years before actual retirement age. I think retirement for us guys is 65, and I'm only 62 currently, but will hit 63 this year{2019}. But I keep hearing they're trying to get this up to 70 or 75 now. I think that's a little ridiculous, most people that age might be able to work, but there are also a lot that just won't make it that far due to health/medical issues or worse, die. I keep hoping and praying I'll make it to 100, it could be possible.🤨 Just not sure if I'll actually make it.🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be slipping then, I usually check in here at least once a day, usually a lot more. But got busy with doing other things and didn't do much on the computer. So, yep, that might be a record all right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have none because I ran up against Medicare rules (I refuse to answer any medical questions, which is considered a Felony in Cal to leave blank). To bad I don't live in Puerto Rico. They don't get Medicare, only SSI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
