If I retire at the earliest possible date, which would be when I turn 55, my monthly retirement payment will be $3,860.
This is for a job where I only began working at the age of 33. I mean, I won’t say no to the money but isn’t it weird to expect a public education system to produce this outcome in perpetuity? Shouldn’t people work for a bit more than 22 years to get retirement? Or at least past 60? We aren’t working in the salt mines, so the job is neither physically demanding nor onerous.
I’m not turning 55 or planning to retire at all for the foreseeable future. I had to contact the retirement people for paperwork purposes and used the opportunity to have them calculate my benefits just out of curiosity.
