Also if you have medical issues all legacies and most majors have LTD. It seems the lowest I’ve seen is $8K a month and up depending on company. It’s usually tax free if you pay the premium after your taxes. I’d like to get my SS as I paid into it since I was 15 yo.
Unless you’ve been retired, you don’t know how good it is. I was retired for a little while and enjoyed it. There were times when I was on Reserve and I would get sick to my stomach when I see a phone call from the scheduling line.
It’s tough being on the road trying to eat healthy and having family at home. I loved every second of having time off and not having to work.
