Retirement

[Gregory Matthews]

After a recent review of our financial records, I have determined that I can retire at 97 years of age.  At that time, I will be able to live comfortably for eleven minutes.

I was originally going to work until I was 72 to get the most from my SS benefits, but in '08 I was laid off after working for this company for 25+ years. So at being 60 years old I couldn't find a job, I even told them in my resume and applications that I would take a cut in pay. I even applied at out of state companies and when I drove down to visit my Mom in Florida I went in to as many printing companies I could visit, but nothing!! I even applied to USPS and passed the test, but they only wanted people for working on Sabbath, which I told them I would not do. So I went on unemployment, for about 2 yrs, thanks to the president who kept adding weeks to the unemployment benefits. When I turned 62 I just retired. God took care of us during that 2 1/2 yr span.
