Well, I Made It.......

Through all the probable couple million road miles, airline travel, walking across questionable frozen lakes at night in my teens, fast car driving, very fast motorcycle riding, work, travel etc......

59.5 years old.

I think I'll celebrate later this morning by making a homecooked breakfast of sausage, hot cakes with hot maple syrup and butter, fried eggs, orange juice, and hot coffee for breakfast.

Back to the reading for the night.

What BIRTHDAY, we have 2 birthdays every year?

You all miss the FINANCIAL implication as seen by SRJ.

SRJ is 59.5 years old. That means he can take distribution from IRA, 401K or any Retirement Plan penalty FREE. The penalty for taking distribution before that is 10%. The penalty is only $5K if one takes out $50K per year so it should be no big deal for SRJ since he is so loaded.

There are ways to take distribution WITHOUT penalty. Google it.

The fact that it went over my financial head shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Now if I were in my mid-50's it had better be on my radar.

If I was you I would have a big frosty mug of beer with that breakfast to celebrate
