Retirement
Yes please. But they say college costs money.
Re: Retirement
If nothing changes, October 2021 for me. And my GI Bill covers that pesky school thing.

Retirement costs money too, dammit.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.
Re: Retirement
I'm ready as hell. I couldn't even imagine working another 18 years (to age 65). If I'm still working at 55, either the economy has really gone to shit or I've really, really fucked up in the next few years.

Re: Retirement
Holy shit, I just learned that a retired military member can pass their GI Bill tuition rights to their children. Even young children, who can collect on it when they reach 18. Crazy.

If I'm still working at 55, it means I made it to June without getting fired.

Yup. The Post 9/11 GI Bill came online in like 2007/8 and completely overhauled the Montgomery GI Bill.The Sybian wrote: ↑Mon Feb 17, 2020 6:09 pmHoly shit, I just learned that a retired military member can pass their GI Bill tuition rights to their children.

Being able to transfer to a spouse or child was one of the biggest perks about it, but it did incur an active duty service commitment of 4 years to do so. I think something recently changed with this, but I'll have to look it up.
Another thing that changed was that when you are in school you'll collect Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) at the E-5 with dependent rate if you go to the brick and mortar location. Online school is pro rated. This stipend is tax free, btw.
So my dream of doing the Logistics Master's program at MIT means I'd get $3k a month while I'm there. (And that's on top of my retirement and VA rating money.) I'm sure I can just live with my sister for free and watch my niece.
And once I burn through all of the months/money available on the Post 9/11 bill, I'll get my original $1,200 back on what it took to buy into the Montgomery GI Bill. (But I have to use every last dime in order to do so.)

Re: Retirement
fwiw, I’m enjoying retirement.
My inherent laziness and my lack of employment match up well together.

Re: Retirement
I don't think I could ever retire. I love what I do, I will just do it at a very reduced schedule so I don't get bored.
49, just paid house off in 11 years. Last debt is car and business loan (not worried about that loan). I just want to do a bunch of traveling with the wife and kid.
