How did you all pick your retirement date? Your birthday? Anniversary with the company? End of a year?

I have less than 10 years, but can't decide, and I know I don't need to yet, which of those I want to go with. Just curious what others have done.

I’m here thinking I’ll be working forever

But the advantage of working remote is this happens on my lunch.

I don't have a year (yet), but most likely, my retirement date will be July 5th (or close to that). Our fiscal year ends June 30th and most people's retirement dates are right after the 4th (since it's a holiday, so it's an extra day of pay )

I have the year, just haven't figured out the month/day.

I have a year in mind (possibly next year), but nothing concrete yet.

I literally have no idea when I am going to retire. As long as I can do what I am doing now with minimal hassle, I don't mind to go on for a long time.

That said, today was like the longest day I have had to endure in a long time. It was somewhat successful, but I feel like I have been beat up.

I based mine on qualifying for Medicare.

I actually have two countdowns.

The one I already posted and another one that is almost half the time. This one applies if my wife can manage to remain doing her job until she turns 60. At that point she could retire and qualify to remain on the group policy at the normal employee price. As long as I was on her policy at the time of retirement, I can also remain on the policy at the greatly reduced group rate.

I don't think she has 6 more school years in her, so 4148 days it is unless how we pay for healthcare gets changed in the future.

They are soooooo good. I’ve made tons of variations and they always are perfect.

2 sticks softened butter
1 c brown sugar
1 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
3 c flour
1/4 c cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Bah of Ghirardelli dark chips
3/4 cup walnuts (optional)

Cream butter and sugars. Mix in vanilla and eggs. Combine dry ingredients then mix in to wet. Stir in chips and nuts. 375 for 10 minutes on parchment. I use a medium cookie scoop. Makes about 3.5 dozen.

You can leave out cocoa and use any variation of chips or nuts, add a cup of peanut butter, swap vanilla for maple flavoring with pecans…

Dec 31 is one of my possibilities (assuming I get a choice). It's just so "final".

I picked my retirement date based on health insurance/ Medicare. At my company, as long as you work a full shift in a month, you’re covered on their health insurance until the end of that month. So I worked 1 day in the month before my 65th birthday & had my employer provided health insurance until the last day of the month. The 1st day of my birthday month, my Medicare started.

And BTW, retirement is awesome. Highly recommend.
