[QUOTE="Carlos, post: 572044, member: 7"] Stress. I retired at 56yo with nearly 32 years. I had realized after a time that I was stuck. Too much time in to change careers. And I could not get transferred to another agency with better working conditions and opportunities. Had my heart attack nearly two years later. Got one stent. I would have boosted my retirement 6% a year if working. The amount was small, so the gain was not great. I wasn't likely to get much, if any raise if I continued to work. So I retired with a 3% annual raise in retirement after one year. In addition, the state was trying to steal our retirement after having projected and agreed to the deal over the years. Fortunately the courts slapped them down and said that they must pay us in retirement what they stole from us while working. I will never be rich. From all the hundreds of employees that worked in this state warehouse, I am only a couple of months away from being the eldest retiree still alive. And I am not yet 65yo. I also worked there over 20 years more than she did. Everyone else is dead. That's kinda a scary thought. [/QUOTE]
