Do you work at the same place? 3 years left for my wife. 4 for me, but mine will be partial retirement. I plant to continue my side gig, which will allow me to leave the corporate world earlier than if I didn't. And then I can work from the RV sitting next to the Badlands in South Dakota if I so choose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to build and sell woodworking projects but I’m not sure exactly how much income I can get. If they would just let us both work from home 18 more months we can retire then with the house paid off and get SS plus pensions plus 401k. If one or both go now it will be a little harder but still doable if push comes to shove. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the idea of hybrid work for those who’s travel adds up to 1 to 3 hours each day, a strong case could be made for some of those hours to be spent at home on the job instead of travelling. Hang in there mate, I’m sure our 401k/superannuation plans will come good once we see the back of 2023. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for some of my retired co-workers that was just the beginning of dealing with HR…at least those that had a company pension or retirement health benefits.
