Aldeer.com Forums Alabama Deer Talk Aldeer General Forum Might Want To Rethink Early Retirement

Your a moron Brad. I’m one of those early retiree that you say are “sucking off the public teat” I worked 38 years for the Government providing services for ingrates like you. I had several opportunities during that 38 years to take a job at factories and such for almost twice what I was making. But what held me there was my retirement. I knew one day it would benefit me to have to put up with the ingrate public. I live in Tuscaloosa, I had several opportunities to go to work at the local BFG (now Michelin) tire plant. When Mercedes opened, I could have gone there. But while the pay and benefits are excellent, the retirement isn’t. If you look around, you’ll see retirements to workers are going away. Companies aren’t willing to promise a retirement for workers that give their career to them. Instead, most offer a 401k. While this is something, it is solely dependent on the economy. If the economy tanks, so does your retirement.
My retirement is a investment that I put into from day 1 and my employer matched. I am under RSA, it is a self funded retirement that has absolutely no tax money input...
If you want to get on a soap box about people “sucking the public teat” tear into welfare, food stamps, public assistance. Lazy ass’s that sit on the front porch and collect tax money, not people that worked a career to earn a decent retirement.
