My wife and I have pensions plans. We won't retire for another 35 or 40 years but that's the plan.

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.

Wow, how are you retiring at 55??? I'm 56, and have spent this year re-vamping my IRA accounts with the hope of retiring in 10-12 years without any reliance on the social security that will be gone.

[Edit] I see below you mentioned having a pension. Must be nice!

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.
