Series Thread: Nemesis Blue Jays fly down to Globe Life 5/13-5/15

Good idea doing that. We get a dollar to dollar match up to 6%. It really is like throwing money away not using something like that because even if there is a downturn the match helps to overcome it. As long as you are not working for someone like Enron or whoever that was.

Man that was a nightmare!

They will likely push the retirement age back to near 70. You know the ironic thing they never though of? People live longer, so they draw on SS and Medicare a lot longer than they ever thought possible. It's good that people live longer, but they take a lot more out when they do.

As they should. Social security was never intended to be a retirement plan.

There's no question imo. That's why I'm saving for retirement starting now.

My dad' generation all felt the same way. They got their's, I got mine and you will too. But, saving is never a bad decision.

You are right because at one point I would have gotten my SS earlier than 66 and 1 month. You know they sit there and tweak the numbers and say if we move it 1 month it could save us X millions of dollars.

Heh...sorry my comment to him led to a tangent that I could talk about all damn day. We obviously agree on that and a lot more of the like when it comes the government and financials.

I plan on using as a supplemental income. I could opt for it now but I would be losing money and if I make too much which I would then I get none of it. So I am waiting on the full amount and it does not matter how much you make at that point. Plus my wife is 6 years younger so I tell people she is my retirement plan.

Hey, I don't blame people his age for feeling that way. They just came through the depression and then were told they had to give up some money they worked hard to get. I bet they were quite suspicious of that one.

The Astros pitching has really been getting knocked around this year. Good to see.

That is enough to make employees go postal right there.

Banister the SportsHoopla gang has enjoyed a nice day just shooting the breeze. Tell the boys not to screw it up.
Your friend,

Nightcrawler = 26
Romeo= 29. ( I thought he fit the angry old man role on this board, but he's not old enough for that)
Wastin = 62 and can't wait for Medicare eligibility
Saddles = 53

Whose next? I'd guess DT to be 79

As usual you fail

12-15 right?

You're joking right?

 

[romeo212000]

I wanna know how close I was on Rev.

Thanks for the vote of confidence

No you were right. I'm just trapped in a 29 year old body.

Thank you for the insult

We have not seen Will chime in yet, but I don't recall seeing him on game threads anymore.

Thank you for the insult

Revs guess was just as bad for me as mine was for yours apparently. I didn't intend to insult you. I'm sorry.

Lighten up. You didn't. I'm 74 and handicap'd. Partly from a bitter war and partly from sports. Still feel good at heart and mind and enjoy all you guys for allowing me to be a part of something I love.....Texas Rangers.
