Don’t you love it when you plan for retirement and can sit back and just wait for that certain age to arrrive.
Unfortunately, a single phone call could just change everything.
My broker called me this morning and said, “Remember that stock we bought and I said you’d be able to retire at age 55?”
“Yes, I remember,” I said.
“Well,” my broker continued, “your retirement age is now 108.”
I know the feeling only too well, having purchased stocks in the past that just plummetted in value as soon as the purchase went through. Even when I did make a killing on one stock (over 4,000%), I used the profits to buy penny stocks, most of which are now worth pennies. It helps if you can see the funny side of things though.

One thought on “Retirement”
Tony – “Retirement” is one of those words that will fade into obscurity. Keith just said to me, “When I’m 79 yrs old, I hope I’m not working 60 hrs a week!”
Oh well, so much for the Golden Years. cheers 😉
