Just retired at 65 from working as a public servant [state - P.E.]

Saved. Never bought a 2nd home at the beach or lake (pick one). Worked until both sons graduated from JMU with no debt. Good PLOP. Adviser said my retirement package similar to judges, not bad. Keeping P.E. active for now.

If it's $100's, then a canoe will hold a LOT of money. Sounds good. ** -- Late 80s Hokie 08/16/2018 4:20PM

No, that's not his blog post. He just tends to post random spam sometimes ** -- Nova Hokie 95 08/16/2018 10:10AM

Ah, gotcha. So he won't be offended when I say what a complete -- ModerateHokie 08/16/2018 10:12AM
