"How long it will take till I get retired."

Today I got a letter from our HR folks which began, "As you get closer to retirement..." Having just turned the big 3-0, I am nowhere near retirement, so just for kicks I did a little googling to see how much longer I had to work.

Working 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week until I'm 65 leaves me with 72,896 hours of employed life. That's over 9,000 days.

Holy hell.

  1. The fact that the calculator asks for an "expiration age" gives me the heebie-jeebies.

  2. Oh geez. I took that as "when will you end your work life," not "when do you expect to die"... I may have to revisit that web site.
