TOAK, The Thread of All Knowledge Part XIII
My blood sugar is slightly below the normal range, I think 14g of carbs from a Dos Equis Amber should do the trick. After all, its better than candy, right?

Sometimes you just have too much financial future at risk to jump ship too early. Some pensions get eviscerated before age 62, loss of company insurance, can impact social security, lot to consider. I wanted to leave my job in my 50's, even shopped around to see what else I could get, but nothing added up to better than dismal for retirement prospects except sticking with it till 62. Wasn't entirely sure that was going to work well, but its worked out ok so far. Way too many people have lost jobs too late to start over in the past several years, see folks my age and older doing entry level jobs now, makes me feel really fortunate I was able to retire.

Well Bob FWIW, I'm riding that train for another 6 months using the COBRA coverage from Cindy's former employer before she retired. I'd recommend that you very, very carefully review any medical plan cuz the one I have doesn't cover ****. In-network, out-of-network, blah, blah blah, they find some reason not to pay. If you're looking at drawing SS the non-covered medical can eat you alive with a lower fixed income. Plus if you draw too much income over the SS limit, they will ding your future earnings. Spend some time talking with someone very knowledgeable about early retirement and the limitations. Here's another consideration - Dad worked for Ford all of his career, when the company got in financial trouble his "lifetime" benefits were taken away. If the ship is sinking beware that they may toss you and your "package" aside.
If Cheryl is working and covered, you can probably get better coverage through her than the open market. I would guess regions are different and that may not be true but at the time we were shopping it was .... Good luck Bud !!
Heal up Mick.
