I am 68, I worked for ATT for 21 years, both as union and management. I am divorced
and live by myself. I get a small pension because my ex was awarded half of it in the
divorce. I think they just did that automatically in Illinois. I spent a lot of years as
management so I get a pretty good bit in SS. I am a veteran so my medical is taken
care of. A big thing is I live in Nevada so no state income tax, no sales tax on food
and the cost of living is moderate. I live in Carson City, the state capitol, smallest
in the country at about 50000 residents. It was a conscious decision to move here
to avoid california taxes. The climate is great, low crime, few or no bugs, sun about
300 days a year. Half an hour from Lake Tahoe, the same from Reno.
Mid range house about 250k.
I highly recommend it
John
