Retirement planning

[IRonMaN]

I see that sometime last night, I crossed over the 30,000 thumb plateau.  So that got me thinking about retirement.  Based on my age, if I retire next year the 30,000 thumbs would mean that I could withdraw 122 thumbs per month to live on.  I think that is enough to get me by, but I was just looking for a little advice.  Should I take the 30,000 and roll them over into toes or should I stick with thumbs?  I'm not sure if you can do a tax free exchange to knees or elbows but my barber told me that a rollover to toes would be a good move.  Anybody have any thoughts on the matter?

It's not my area of expertise but I heard on Tik Tok that it's bad to be "all thumbs".  Barbers generally have great advice on this but you may also want to get a second opinion from at least one bartender.  Or really any profession that starts with "bar".  Barbarians.  Barnstormers.  Barytones.  Bar hose cleaners.

I tried asking a bardolater but all I got for an answer was - "to be or not to be, that is the question".  That really didn't help me much.

Jeff, 'ethically' you should really deduct all those *thumbs down* from way back when they were a part of this forum.  If that takes you too low to retire, just let me know.  I'll give you some of mine.

[IRonMaN]

I don't think I ever received a thumbs down.  At least I don't remember getting any of those.  Back then everybody had a really good sense of humor and always appreciated my posts............................ But then again, I am getting older and my memory may not be as good as it used to be 😜

[abctax55]

Now I'm worried about you & your memory .... is it the lutefisk or the Minnesota cold? 

*Shirley* you remember the bru-ha-ha over those downward thumbs; all of us old-timers do.  😘 

[IRonMaN]

Oh those.  I forgot they were downward thumbs -------------- I thought those were just some unhappy folks giving us the finger 😀

I would ask a carpenter.  Sometimes they have missing appendages and might be able to get you going in the right direction.  If that fails, ask the lawncare folks.  lol.

[IRonMaN]

Carpenters might be ok, but I don't know about the lawncare people.  They drive lawnmowers around in circles all day so I don't know if they have a good sense of direction.  🤔

I vote for taking advice from your barber, but only if he does not accept any payment method other than cash!

[IRonMaN]

Those are obviously the smart ones so you do need to listen to them.  Everybody knows if you receive cash, it isn’t taxable.

George - that isn't very polite, but then again I guess it is more polite than another finger that you could have used.

[George4Tacks]

I was just trying to reduce the number of thumbs up so you would not retire. I would greatly miss you. 

😢

[IRonMaN]

You aren't going to have to miss me.  I don't know what the word retirement even means.  I don't drink Fireball, but if that's what it takes for me to be doing this as long as Mr Fireball, I will work on developing a taste for it. 😁

[Camp1040]

Practice with rubbing alcohol and cinnamon, for the acquired taste. Do I need to put in a disclaimer about the above statement, someone on the internet may try it!

[IRonMaN]

I think you are safe.  Now, if we were getting close to April 15th, I would say you probably should add the disclaimer just to be safe.
