    What's your retirement plan?

    Since I tendered my resignation yesterday (and will be jobless as of January 23, 2015), I decided I should probably look in on my 401(k) and figure out what's going on there. It also occurred to me that I might quite possibly have some lost invested money floating somewhere out there in the world, and I should probably try to find that, too. Anywho, my financial advisor (google) tells me that I should have something like 1 times my annual salary saved up by the time I'm 30. Since I'm about to no longer have a salary, I'm doing just fine on that front.

    What about you folks? When will you get to retire? How comfortable will retirement be? Does the thought of retirement induce a bout of nervous laughter that transitions to maniacal cackling and then descends into desperate sobbing?

    I've got an IRA I've been putting money in since I got my first job.

        My retirement plan is working until dementia sets in to the point where worldly possessions are of no consequence.

          Worldly possessions are already of no consequence, man.

            I remember when I used to make more than you.

                No need to add the x-post. I knew you were talking about me.

                    I got my pension when I was 12.

                        Thanks for that. I found a quote that tells me I had no idea what I was worth back then...

                          The intelligence thread was spectacular. One of the highlights of my poly career
