15 years, 4 months, and 22 days from today I will be eligible to retire from my current job and receive a small pension and have Medicare as my health insurance. It doesn't seem so long, really. I work with good people and like what I do.
A little less than two years later, I will be able to start receiving Social Security.
Well, according to today's rules... but as this White House has taught us, rules have been made to be abolished.
Additionally, I contribute to a 403b through payroll deduction- unfortunately we do not get a match, but you can't have everything. I am on schedule to have my house paid off before I retire- how much before remains to be seen- I would LOVE to get it done in the next 8 years, but will settle for 10 if I have to... Time will tell.
I look forward to exploring places and not having to rush home. See friends and family around the globe. Walk on the Great Wall, see the Pyramids, visit Petra, take in Bethlehem, pray at the Wailing Wall, dance in Buenos Aires.... so many adventures await.
