Senor Fire loop,
You can retire at 40; just do it. Your lucky you have a pension, I have zilch. The only thing I'll have is what I've been able to save and grow on my own.I can't collect Social security until i'm 67 and if i'm forced to "retire" at 60, that leaves 7 years of doing something new until i can really retire.
I love my job! I want to keep doing this. If i had to find another job that paid this well with benefits, I should start school now!
I would like to have the right to work until 65 if i choose and can pass all the required tests and physicals!
