I know that I will have to work basically forever. I didn't start saving in time, and I'm really not saving enough now. It's very hard when you are single and raising a child to save money. And then when you have a partner who subsequently loses her job, it makes it harder still to save.<br />Fortunately, my employer has a very good retirement plan and I have been here for 17 years. I think, and hope, that with the amount I'll get from that I should be able to work part time for another 20 years... oh joy!ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477806052578880686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701114292967665697.post-5007696578657497472011-05-04T19:29:50.366-07:002011-05-04T19:29:50.366-07:00I resemble Maria (and Bing) but have been on simil...I resemble Maria (and Bing) but have been on similiar thought patterns as you with regard to my immediate supervisor. <br /><br />Sounds like you've given the matter much thought and consideration. <br /><br />Here's to your path being littered with only pebbles. :-)Middle Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12334580430376973159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701114292967665697.post-86865353649837515492011-05-04T08:37:15.057-07:002011-05-04T08:37:15.057-07:00Retirement?

Are we really old enough to thinking about this?<br /><br />Whatever you do in the future, I hope it entails a lot of schmoozing and not too much businessy business.

Let's face it, not many people get to retire by the time they're 55, so you've at least made some good choices along the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
