A Day To Celebrate

It's a celebration day!  

Today is my 26th Wedding Anniversary.


 

We look so young, lol!

The second celebration is that it's my start of DROP.  If you're unfamiliar with DROP, it's a deferred retirement option plan.  Basically, I'm considered retired but still working.  My employer will put my pension payments in an interest bearing account while I collect my salary.  Somewhere between 1-5 years, I can fully retire.  I will then be met with my pension payments as well as a lump sum from that interest bearing account.  My plan is to do the whole 5 years.

Once you join DROP, you can not change your mind; I must go in 5 years.

So I'm "semi-retired" but it's great to know there's an end date!
