I am not going to do anything until the first of the year. I am going to try to get a gourmet baked goods hobby off the ground as sometime extra cash generator. You know cupcakes are all the rage right now. The month of December, I plan to sleep late and over eat, In that order.

[klaatumail] Re: Hit a Milestone No KK ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: [klaatumail] Hit a Milestone No KK From: WARFELT@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Tue, 12 Oct 2010 10:54:07 -0400 Friends, today I hit a big milestone. The large multinational insurance and financial conglomerate that I work for, decided to send the majority of the corporate accounting and finance positions to a company in India, (that is owned my American express). I do regulatory and compliance reporting for them. Yesterday I received a 60 day notice that my job is being sent to India and that I would no longer be employed after December 9th. I have had to train the person taking my job. However, because I am 52 (or older) I can opt to take a retirement package which includes, a lump sum payout of half my annual salary, a monthly pension until I am dead, and unemployment for 18 months. The pension is pretty generous, sightly better than if I waited until 55 (which I had planned to do anyway). So, at 52 and after 35 years of service, I am going to retire. I saved a ton in my 401k which has been in a guaranteed fund for the past several years and has not lost any money. Merry Christmas to me. I can't hardly believe it.

Here's my story. I'm in transition from working for a company to being a broker. There's a lot on my plate right now. With all of that crap going on, I received a phone from my ex saying my daughter was in an accident with my car. The car, I been told is wrote off. The car was leased and the end date is the 21st of this month. I even went to the bank to refinance. It's a sucky day. And no, nobody was hurt. Thank God!
