I'm gonna die...
Retirony: Dying around the age of retirement (from The Simpsons)
I sorta experienced my own oddly predicted retirony last weekend. There was a meme I took on here, or myspace, or okstupid, or somewhere, which provided me with a projected date of death given various factors, e.g., family history, lifestyle choices, where you live, etcetera. In short, given my current situation, I am supposed to live until I am 69 (no, really, I didn't make that number up!).
I'm going to die in 2032, in about 27 years.
On Saturday I recieved a quarterly retirement account summary. In it there was a area explaining how much money I would get upon retirement from social security and my 401(k) combined. It said I would make $2K per month upon retirement at the age of 67, in 2030.
Ignore for the moment that said income won't amount to much by then, I don't like the idea of having only two years of retirement before I trot off to a better place and join the chior invisible.
My younger son suggested I retire sooner.
Much sooner.
I concurred.
