ive increased my pension payments and now im set to retire at 57 4 months ago

So I’m going back to school. the cost might mean a year off retirement, if it doesn’t result in better pay, but the possibility of better pay is good. Fingers Crossed. Deep Breath. and Jump. 10 months ago

I don’t know if I can do this. But I want to. And I’m going to try my darndest to make it happen! 11 months ago

We’re approaching another milestone. projections now say as early as January 2020. That’s only 9 years away. wow. 13 months ago

It is my full intention to be retired by the time I’m 25. I am 22 now 15 months ago

With economic pressures, two sons at post-secondary school age and a mortgage that isn’t yet paid off, this goal might not be accomplished for some time. But as a few people have told me lately, sometimes, it’s good, once in awhile, lol, to go to work to get away from home stuff. That is, go to work to get a break! ;)

I sort of felt that way after the Christmas vacation that I took last month. I didn’t go anywhere, just took it easy at home, but there were a few pressures elsewhere that made my “vacation” a bit less restful, so I was almost happy to get back to work on January 3rd.

That being said, every single one of my friends who have retired in the past few years are all looking great and love their new life transition! 16 months ago

With my IRA contributions combined with my 401K contributions, I’m at 11% right now. I hope, with the January raise, to be able to bummp my 401K by 2%. 3% would be ideal, pushing me to that immediate 14%, I just don’t know how realistic that is. 18 months ago
