OK - I'm Officially Old
Yesterday, after talking to my investment guy and tax guy we all agreed now that I'm 64+, it was time for me to apply for Social Security Retirement Benefits instead of waiting till 66, so I went online and filled out the form. So, starting January 2012, I'm 'on the dole' and will receive my first SS payment the second Wednesday of each month. My first check will come in February for January eligibility.
Last night my wife told me, "You're now Officially Old."

Re: OK - I'm Officially Old
Yep, the wife & I had that conversation several weeks back... tho' I still have a few years to go. However, I also figured out that I'd need to win the lotto in order to retire in the manner to which I'd like to become accustomed!

Re: OK - I'm Officially Old
Been there done that about 8 1/2 years ago. It`s time to start getting back what you put in. Life is a gamble. I belived in getting it early as I could. You have to live quite old to make up for waiting. Everyones prospects are different. Congradulations. I remember a guy at lockheed that dropped over dead loading his toolbox in his car the day he retired!
Re: OK - I'm Officially Old
I could be old in a year and a half (I'm 60) but as addicted to money as I am, I'll prolly work a few more years or so.

Re: OK - I'm Officially Old
4 years and counting for me. Had a really frustrating day at work yesterday, it was cold and raining and I was working outside. Got home and asked my wife why I was still doing this! She reminded me we have three kids in college.
I shut up and went to bed.

Re: OK - I'm Officially Old
Other than the Kubota I bought last May I own everything, house cars truck etc, but I don't think with taxes and everything else that I will ever get to retire and will have to work til I die.....my pay has gone up but no where as much as everything else.......if I could I would retire in a minute as work is a means to an end and I would like to tend my garden, work on my house, hunt and shoot even if its just cheap .22s........life is way to short.
Re: OK - I'm Officially Old
We don't get full retirement from our Co until 65 anyway, so I plan on working until 66 when I am eligible for SS. I will be 58 in Feb; 8 more years, it will be here before I know it.
Re: OK - I'm Officially Old
I have to work until I am 72 to get one-half as much from S.S. as I earn now.

Re: OK - I'm Officially Old
10-12 years for me. As jobs go I enjoy mine most of the time. It's funny how as my buddies and I get closer to retirement our conversations have changed from conquring the world with cars, motorcycles, guns, and the ladies to now talking how we will make retirement happen, and how soon.

Re: OK - I'm Officially Old
Age is a relative thing, but by my lights you're a youngster. At least you got signed up during a year when there was a COLA. It's not much, but then it's better than 0 increase. If the country remains solvent, we may continue to collect. And, it shouldn't be considered an "entitlement"; we contributed to that fund for many years.

Re: OK - I'm Officially Old
CoSteve, welcome to the club, it's nice to be on the dole even though I still work part time. Just curious, you said you would get your check the second Wednesday of the Month and mine always comes on the fourth Wednesday of the month. Just wondered if they changed it. God Bless.

Re: OK - I'm Officially Old
I filled out the online form yesterday morning and a very pleasant woman called this morning and told me she was my 'case worker'. She said that I could actually start this month and get my first check in January but I said leave it like I applied for it so she told me that with direct deposit it will go into my account on the second Wednesday of each month.rodeo kid wrote:CoSteve, welcome to the club, it's nice to be on the dole even though I still work part time.

Re: OK - I'm Officially Old
I didn't get around to retiring and collecting Social Security until I was 68 years old - the young (they all are now) lady's first question was, "What took you so long?".
I make no claim to being older than dirt - but - I am older than the Mt Rushmore Memorial mountain. It was in July, 1927 my folks were vacationing from Nebraska Sandhills in Custer State Park in the South Dakota Black Hills. President Coolidge was there to dedicate the bare mountain so G. Borglum could start carving faces there. First Lady Mrs Grace Coolidge was out on the front lawn of the Game Lodge (where they always stayed) visiting with any and all who wanted to stop and visit with her. Dad asked if he could take her picture and she was not only willing but, offered to hold their 11 month old son - saying she had a son named Jack also.
My mother never forgave me for being so interested in the Chow Chow dog Mrs Coolidge had to not look up for the picture.
I guess the secret service was busy doing what they were organized to do after the civil war - chasing counterfeit money and distributors - sure wouldn't happen today. Note the lack of any crowd.

Re: OK - I'm Officially Old
COSteve as others have said, welcome to the club. I was in the same boat as you, just 5 months ahead of you. I retired in July at 64+. I hate the system of paying on Wednesday. It is based on what day of the month your birthday falls on. Mine is the 20th so my check comes on the 3rd Wednesday of the month, which sounds great but it is a different date each month. In my case the check can arrive on the 15 thru the 21 depending on how many days there were in the last month. Now if I can just get my bill collectors to agree to me paying them on a certain day and not a date I will be ok.
So much for my bi**hing. enjoy your new life.

Re: OK - I'm Officially Old
I will turn 66 in August. I plan to sign up for the dole a couple months prior to that and will most likely work part time for the outfit where I have worked for the last 10+ years.
I have been paying in to SS full time since `66`. Time to get some of my money back.

Congratulations. Passed that threshold two years ago. As much as we may complain, I get up ever morning and thank the Lord for allowing me another day on the green side of the grass. Now that I am officially retired, I don't know why I waited so long. It is by far the best time I have had since I got my first job 54 years ago. What the hell happened to the time?? There is nothing wrong with getting paid back for what you have put in. ENJOY!!

OTOH, I think there was something neat - friendly - trusting - among other virtues - that the president's wife was out on the front lawn of the Game Lodge so she could visit with any tourists or others who wanted to stop and visit with her. A far cry from the way some president's family members seem the regard themselves as royalty - untouchable - well above a front lawn visit with "commoners" (spell "citizens" - or maybe even "employers"). I don't remember it but my folks said she was very friendly and gracious (no pun intended).
Wish we could get more people in the White House with that friendly attitude toward the "commoners" now and show it so sincerely - rather than expressing the view that "this is the first time I can honestly say I'm proud of my country" as one first lady did.

Re: OK - I'm Officially Old
Good decision; a guy at work decided to wait until he was 67, then he retired, collected two checks and died.
I figured that if I retired early - 8 years from now - it would take me until I was 85 to lose out. Plus you have your freedom when you are younger and can still do things. I think it will be easier to accept old age if I have already done the things I always wanted to do.

Well I certainly have a few years to worry about wheather or not I will retire. However, I have seen a trend of people that die within 10 yrs of retiring, therefore, I DONT PLAN TO RETIRE!

When I had to retire my income was cut exactly in half. Hope you are having a better go at it . Money doesn't go very far with Drs,meds, breakdowns , plus the body can't do the physical work needed instead of calling a repair man.
BUT I really like sleeping late , and just driving by the gate at work without stopping .
Now that's something .
