What's this?

Just sat thru retirement information sessions this week. Thought I heard 30

My impression was that was a conservative estimate however.

But there was a lot of info flowing in these meetings and my head was spinning.

I'm so glad I started going to these sessions early (I'm 5 years from eligibility). Highly recommend everyone do something similar well in advance of retiring.
