He was planning on retiring when he turned 62 next year but he will bring in a better pension from his employer if he retires at the end of this year. So in about 2 1/2 months I will have my D(?)H at home with me all the time. I'm not sure how I feel about it. He likes to go out and eat all the time. I mean all the time. He doesn't like the idea of simple sandwiches and such for lunch. And he has very specific times he likes to eat - 11 AM and 5 PM. I like my DVR and I catch up on the previous evening shows the next day. I won't always have that luxury now. Right now he has been on vacation all this week and I have about 20 hours on the DVR I have to watch. We are going to visit the grand-kids this weekend so I have Sunday through Tuesday eve scheduled on it so it is going to get pretty full.

Since he won't turn 62 until July I will have to start drawing my pension from the same employer in March. I was really hoping to put that off in order to make the pension check a little bigger. Plus we may have to take some out of my TSA since I won't have any penalty being on SSD. We aren't sure if I have to or not, just according to what our insurance costs are going to be.

Plus this retirement a little earlier may affect how we are going to be able to save for our big vacation next October where we take both our girls, husbands and grand-kids to Disney World. We were going to try to pay for as much of it as we could.

So I am stressed! Thanks for listening.
