The 50-Plus Room - for

[RosevilleCAguy]

I try to be careful so my credit card number is:

Number of kids Keith Richards has
PLUS: The last four of Jenny’s phone number after 867-
Multiplied by the number of cords in EVERY Dylan song
MINUS The next number sequentially in Chicago’s questions.

Verification code is the ordinal date of Janis Joplin’s birthday.

BTW: I need a reciept.

………….Thank you very good.

It will be emailed to you.

Thank you for shopping with Nigerian Prince Enterprises Ltd.

I wish I would have planned better for retirement...... I don't think I can do 14 more years

They have upped the retirement age in the UK to 67yrs if you were born 1963 onwards, is it the same in the US?

I’ve been waiting for my bingo card here in the old folks home for hours! Lol anyone else get theirs?

You'll have to speak up, dear.

Too true, we are at the mercy of government policy, I just have a feeling that when I'm a year away, they'll raise my retirement age.

Good morning all. Hope your coffee or tea is hot.

Another warm day with rain and cold closing in. I have been retired for 9 years and the first year was difficult. I started a consulting business which kept me busy. After 9 years,

am closing down the business to have more time for grandchildren.

It’s like catch 22 when they keep raising the number of missions the crews have to fly. 35, then 40, then 45…

I wanna work till im 65 if I can. Or close to it. But starting the countdown. I’m 56 now. They raised social security in the states to 67 now I think.

Anyways - off to work.

Good morning,

You know you are over the hill when you pull a muscle in your neck/shoulder sneezing ........ hahahahaha.... Tylenol ibuprofen ice for 24 then ice and heat on and off...... good grief

Want me to come over and massage it out for you? Poor thing!

 

[Lilianna23]

Please make credit cards known to me and checks payable to wonderer67.

There are many benefits.

Is it OK if I just copy both sides of my card and send it to you?

 

[Lilianna23]

I wish I would have planned better for retirement...... I don't think I can do 14 more years

Maybe you can semi-retire? Or find something else altogether you would like to do?

 

[Lilianna23]

I've retired twice already. It doesn't work for me.

You've failed at retirement!

 

[Lilianna23]

Just come and move in with me....we'll work it all out financially! (grin)

Such a deal, MissK!

 

[Lilianna23]

Can I join?
I turn 50 this month!

I would say so. Did you know that after 50, you can celebrate your birthday for the entire week. After 60, it's the entire month! I think that's an amendment in the constitution or something!

 

[brdplt]

Good morning!

 

[Lilianna23]

I'm a new member I don't have a vote yet lol but I would say just ask forgiveness besides half the group will forget by tomorrow and the other half can't find their glasses to read your comments! Lol

This is @mpeters thread. He's pretty welcoming to everyone!

They are lucky to have an 7nvolved grandparent. I only had one left as a child and she lived far away

Retired almost 10 years now. I did the consulting thing a time or two but mostly as a favor to help someone out. I think I am through with work at this point.

My early retirement story:
Retired from the corporate world at 54. The plan was to get in the best shape of my life. Three hours a day at the gym.

Day 1 was a success. 3 hr workout, home for lunch, then walked my 17 year old dog to the neighborhood park to sit under a shade tree.

Day 2, same routine except the workout was cut the two and a half hours. Nice afternoon with my dog under the shade tree.

Day 3. Same routine except the workout was cut to two hours. And when my dog and I got to the park, a homeless lady was in our spot under the shade tree.

Day 4. Got home from the gym even earlier. Needed to make sure the homeless lady hadn’t beaten us to our spot.

Day 5. The homeless lady beat us to our spot.

That was when I realized what my entire life in retirement had boiled down to. Racing against a homeless lady for a spot in the shade. I decided to go back to work part time as a consultant. A few years later I figured out how to live a meaningful life in full retirement. The key is to take pride in goofing off!

Indeed it is! I think I'm really good at that particular skill.
