When I started/left schoo...Happy Birthday Val :0) <br /><br />When I started/left school, the deal with successive Governments was I worked, paid my taxes and in return, I could retire at 60. I SHOULD now have 4 years to go to get the pension - which is hardly a fortune! - I've worked all my life for, but thanks to someone somewhere in their feather-bedded tax-payer funded nest, I now have to work another 10, by which time, assuming the job I have now is still around, I will have been in employment for 50 YEARS!! Having anticipated since the age of 16 that I could finally stop working after 44 years, it's REALLY done a number on my head :0(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27283804.post-29101287632316466112013-03-28T22:41:45.898+00:002013-03-28T22:41:45.898+00:00Well, I am the old lady of the bunch, I will be 66...Well, I am the old lady of the bunch, I will be 66 this June. And I started collecting Social Security at 62, the age we can first start collecting. Since I had to quit working at age 60 to care for my mom, I took it right away. Seems here too, that a lot of people die before they even have a chance to collect it. Thank Goodness old Romney didn't get in or it would probably be gone . Anyway, Happy Birthday Val!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16857610015230193968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27283804.post-53366277648641634132013-03-28T22:26:31.169+00:002013-03-28T22:26:31.169+00:00Happy Birthday Val.

If you still want to retire at 62, you get less Social Security than if you retire at 70.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.com
