Yep, pretty much the game I played. You're doing it right.

You'll be fine. You got this, brother!

As long as Trump doesn't decide to suddenly end pension plans! I mean, i don't really think that will happen, but he's so batshit crazy, who knows. So I figure I should take the jump now and maybe any law changes that would happen would go towards people who aren't collecting the pension yet.

My pension plan is for state workers. So we can retire at 55 if we have at least 20 years service in. I turned 55 this year, and hit my 20th year this year.

Of course, the longer I keep working, the bigger my pension would be. I took my current job with the plan to work for 3 more years, then retire.

And I like my current job enough, but every single morning after I turned 55, when I wake up, I think to myself, "Shit if I were retired, I wouldn't have to go anywhere."

My job is a 10-minute walk away. So I really have no right to bitch about it at all. But just "having" to be somewhere, gets on my nerves so much now! lol

So since I don't owe anybody shit, and I can live off of potatoes and beans, I'll get by just fine. I don't give a shit what people think of me, so no keeping up appearances. That right there, makes my lifestyle sustainable on low income.

That's awesome, it seems really far away, but trust me, it goes by quick. I'm 55 and I retire in a few months. And I remember thinking it seemed so far away. And fuck, now I'm here. Crazy.

Yep! I retire in 5 months. 55 years old. With full pension.

My house is paid off and I have no debt. Since I have no bills, my pension will cover my needs just fine. It's not a huge pension or anything, but I've worked for my state for most of my adult life, and whittled down my bills to almost nothing. So I'll get by just fine.

I plan to just spend my time in retirement doing exactly what I want. I've recently started a local branch of my favorite socialist party, so I'll devote more time to that.

Plus, I'll do a lot of writing, a lot of Lemmy posting, garden more so I can grow most of my meals, and doing DIY solar projects so that I can cut back on my bills even farther. Because fuck the capitalist power infrastructure in my state. My state's BS laws won't let me go completely off-grid while here in the city, but I plan on reducing how much I have to pay as far down as I can go

Yep, and it flopped. lol

Oh this should be interesting. Or terrible!

as Zemeckis has already pitched the idea at Universal and “they don’t get it.”

I'm with them. I don't get it. It sounds like a horrible idea.

I think this is a great way to go about things. I like how you are approaching this and I agree with all of your points. One of the reasons that this is gonna be my main instance from now on. Love it here. Thanks for all of your work!

This is awesome news!!

I was excited when I first heard about this while it was filming. Then I saw the trailer. I noped out of that pretty quick. There was not one single thing in the previews for this movie that made me want to watch it. lol
