Hello all, I was wondering if some of you could give me and possibly others advice on ways to make a retirement hike a reality. I am a military member and still have a handful of years left. As the time ticks away I find myself uneasy and with lots of unanswered questions.
Do I, find a job and hope the next employer will understand the far off start date?
Do I, live with the unknown, wait on the job and support the family with just the modest retirement check?
Should I be safe, make a solid transition to the next career and hike in my 50’s, at peace with the world?
Although my transition involves “Uncle Sam” this advice could be helpful to anyone approaching retirement or unemployment and have some lead time.
