Guest Posted December 9, 2001 Report Share Posted December 9, 2001 If you had $250,000...You can spend $1500 per month for 14 years before you go broke or Social Security kicks in!! That's not bad. Live fast...Die young & broke. Now granted most people don't want to go quietly...But when I'm 65 I don't think I'll be Barfineding many BG.

bushman Posted December 9, 2001 Report Share Posted December 9, 2001 Ajarnski You might be surprised. I am in the age catagory you speak about but still enjoying. Only wish that I have discovered LOS earlier in my life. Tbear Read your first report and looking forward to this one. You have a gift with words. I knew you were arriving at the Nana the Saturday before I left BKK and was hoping that I woould run into you but no luck. Hope you are lucky with your retirement plan---even at my age I think of jumping ship. Bush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbear31 Posted December 9, 2001 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2001 Ajarnski, No such luck with a pension. I have to get the money the old fashioned way by saving. If I can just get a break with the US stock market, at least I would be going in the right direction. Bushman, Sorry I missed you. Had to cut out the BKK portion of the trip. But as you can guess, I'll be back. Chocolate, Can't believe your going back so soon. I wish I had planned something for the holidays, but it looks like I'm going to have to wait for 6 months.

Guest Posted December 9, 2001 Report Share Posted December 9, 2001 Wow.....around 65 and still going at it You have my utmost respect. My father, who is around that age, can't even get up from his couch to change the TV channel. If he loses his remote...he's SCR*WED!! I hope I can still go at it at that age. I'll be almost 39 in when I retire. I'm gonna make up for some lost time. I'm glad I hung around for my pension. I hated what I did but I knew that I won't have to work if I decided to live in LOS. I hope the market moves up for you guys. I know some of you depend on that as a source of income. But as for me, I'll have a nice pension and over $150,000 in the bank. So if you guys need a loan when I get there, let me know. I'm very "Jai Dee" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirit_of_town_hall Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 I worked out with compound interest in a saver account $250 000 would give you approx $1300 a month for 19 years. Most of us will have parents and should receive something from their estate, so retirement in LOS, a lot of you could do now. Saying that some people really enjoy their work, although I don't know many people who do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
