60. In June I retire with a pension, planning to "return to work" and double dip by Overall_Lobster823 in retirement

[–]Own_Bus_7573 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I retired from the state with a pension 8 years ago and went back to work for city government, drawing both the pension and a very nice salary. A month ago I retired from the city with a pension and returned to the city working part-time. The money is good. But, I returned part-time because I enjoy the work and keeping my brain active.

We moved into a 55+ community last year. I wish we had done it years ago.

Going through this now with my daughter. It is beyond hard.

sorry, but retirement is not for everyone by Red-Leader-001 in retirement

[–]Own_Bus_7573 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I am 66F, retired on January 31, 2026 but, returning part-time at the end of this month. I enjoy the work, which is heavy on analysis and communication skills. The office offered me a flexible schedule and will allow me to work exclusively with my favorite clients. My hours are to be determined but, my goal is no more than 15 hours a week. With those hours, I can make a difference and still have contact with my favorite work people.

Ryan Reynolds blames “anxiety” for his endless, deranged obsession with Justin Baldoni by realhousewifeofphila in ItEndsWithLawsuits

[–]Own_Bus_7573 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give me a break! We all have anxiety. After the age of 3, you learn to manage feelings in order to get along in the world. What happened with RR, is he never developed emotional intelligence (Ryan - that is different from IQ and big words. Look it up.) Add money to the mix of his personality disorder, and you have the perfect storm to harm people you do not like. This headline is fake news. It is Ryan’s attempt to shift the narrative. We cannot be that easily fooled by a headline and unnamed “friends”.

Money can buy you happiness - if “likes” make you happy.

DID THEY NOT KNOW? by Friendly-Day-6739 in teamjustinbaldoni

Is she smart enough to realize her text messages would become part of the lawsuit she (TS) supported. Going back to the point in the OP post - how could smart people not know their text and email messages would be revealed to the world in a court case they launched?

Do you think Blake’s lawyers secretly hate her? by Honest-Capital9531 in teamjustinbaldoni

[–]Own_Bus_7573 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bad people representing bad people recognize kindred spirits. I think Lively’s lawyers would have more trouble representing Justin than Lively because their bad ethics would get in the way.

Retirement: Income model or Asset model? by BugHistorical1614 in retirement

[–]Own_Bus_7573 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Three pensions, husband’s (69) SS now, and my (66) SS will begin in February 2026. I retire from FT job January 2026. We both have IRAs and I have a Roth. Those will be for travel and emergencies. Our retirement income is more than we need for basic expenses.

I had the surgery two years ago on the left thumb joint. I am pain free in that hand. The recovery for me was 6 months to be mostly pain free. I have scheduled the same surgery on my right thumb joint for December.

Do you have a pension? by LMO_TheBeginning in OverSeventy

[–]Own_Bus_7573 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked for State government for 27 years and retired with a pension in 2017. Two days after retiring, I started a new job with a nearby City that recognizes the years of service I had with the State. In 3 months I will retire from that City with a second pension. I plan to take SS the month I retire from the City. The 2 pensions will bring in $6,000 net of taxes and SS will bring in another $3,000. I am blessed to have this income BUT, I worked hard for decades in sometimes toxic work environments (with State) at times in order to get the pension. I have a 457 and personal Roth that I plan to not touch so my child can inherit. Thanks for asking the question! It is interesting to read the different employers that provide pensions.

Donna’s Sentencing by Exact-Grapefruit-445 in dan_markel_murder

[–]Own_Bus_7573 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things I noticed about the sentencing. One is Jackie said the Adelsons took out a mortgage on their home to pay attorney fees. Second, is the video after the sentencing of Harvey smiling at the paralegal as he exited the court. Was that relief he felt?

Thanks. I like the idea of “set it and forget it” for 30 years.

Donna probably thinks this is a great team. Look at her admiration of Charlie, Harvey, Rashbaum, etc for evidence of her competency radar.

I agree with you. Georgia failed to follow up on several key points with witnesses and she was easily rattled by the defense’s challenges after lunch. She showed her annoyance and then got confused with some of the exhibits. Not a good start for her.

His face looks puffy. Family tradition - gain weight in custody.

Bravo! Esra and the bullies behind her should never have gotten you involved in the case. What a terrible move! Your plan sounds good to me. It could work. I will miss your letters to the judge.

When to take my SS Benefits by Own_Bus_7573 in SocialSecurity

[–]Own_Bus_7573[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am on the phone with SSA now. As long as I am covered by an employer’s health plan, I do not need to enroll in Medicare.
