I am 55, will be 56 soon. I can take early retirement now. I would get $3800 a month without our insurance, $2100 with insurance.
Been laid off for 2 months now, collecting unemployment and using my savings.
I have no debt, my bills are about $1200 a month.
I could go back to work making about $48 an hour if I can find work.
