duckydoty Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 He probably gets the "oil tax refund" for the few months he is up there. What a loser? Unfortunately, one of the requirements to receive the PDF in Alaska is to spend 13 consecutive months up there. That would require spending the winter up there and this fella ain't gonna be doing no nonsense like that. They can keep their PFD fund. A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!!

Yep spending a winter in Alaska isn't worth a thousand bucks or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeter Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Retirement is not all fishing and hunting. You will enjoy that for a few years then you will be gin to pick up the aches and pains that come with age. Some of us get by longer than others. But a lot of it depends on your genes and your life style.What he said....plus..... Don't wish your life away....ever. Take it as it comes and treasure every moment. As some of us are finding out the hard way it's a very short time that is given to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feathers and Fins Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Keys to retirement Graduate High school or College After that you can retire if You get a job you truly enjoy Spend time doing whatever you enjoy and most importantly Have a Wife that never tries to change you My retirement unfortunately came 6 year ago when the boys moved out. I have a job I enjoy so its not Work. I hunt and fish and do the things I enjoy and Have a great wife. Its all a mental state if you do what you enjoy its all retirement. I honestly cant see myself not having a job I can only hunt and fish so much I have to have diversity in my life. Besides I have had days hunting and fishing that were more frustrating and like work than my job ever has been lol. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaver-Lake-Arkansas-Fishing-Report/745541178798856 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlfisher Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 While I don't know when I will retire or what I will do when I retire, the most important thing to me is to have options when I hit my mid 50's. I wan't to make sure I retire while I am healthy enough do the things I love. Obviously fishing is a top priority, but planning for retirement is awfully important to be able to thoughly enjoy it. I don't want to have to work when I am 80. This thread is a bit fitting as today is actually my dad's birthday (he passed away 2008 at 58) and he would have been retired and fishing today. You just never know when freak things will happen so save often and early so you can get your fun in before the buzzer sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just never know when freak things will happen so save often and early so you can get your fun in before the buzzer sounds Yup, mine went at 57 and never got to retire. I suppose if I was going to try and give a sliver of advise it would be to not intend to change your life now to enhance your later years, take all you can get when you can get it. By the way, my mother is 97, so you never know. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillback Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 That's a good philosophy Stilfisher, save, invest, and plan for retirement. If you get there and decide you still want to work, that's fine, but if you've got a nest egg built up you have options. Lots of people when they are young say that they will work through old age, but when you get older you may not feel that way and you may also be battling the physical and/or mental issues that getting older can bring. Plan so you have choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems they aren't satisifed with the taxes they will collect on your voluntary and mandatory withdrawals when that time comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
