Baby boomers, please congratulate my husband - he’s officially retiring this day. Well, to be exact, he’s leaving the full-time job he’s been in since 1980, leaving behind many friends and a lot of very productive work.
But he’s not going to be sitting around the house - God forbid! He has some part-time opportunities and plenty of projects to do here at home, including finishing the new garage and some hobbies he’s been wanting to pursue. And he wants to spend more time with the grandkids. He’ll be 62 in October, so he’s not really retiring early. Or is he?
He’s uncommon because he is getting an actual PENSION. My retirement expert tells me over 70% of baby boomers will not have a pension to count on, so they will have to manage their 401K’s, IRA, etc.
Does all of this sound familiar? When are you thinking of giving up that full-time job? I’m ready to join him.
