6 More Working Days Until Retirement

 

I’ve been on the insurance business since June 9, 1980.  For some reason can’t recall, so took extra classes and graduated with my BA at the age of 20. I was a green, naive, unsophisticated trainee for the position of Claims Adjuster for Commercial Union Assurance Companies. I’d never heard of such a job; however, I was a liberal arts major, needed a job, and I was offered the position at a salary of $12,500 plus a company car. And what a car! A 1980 Ford Fairmont! To be fair, it was much nicer than the school bus yellow Ford Pinto with the exploding gas tank that I had been driving, 

When I began that first adult job at the age of 20, I figured I would have to work for at least 45 years before I could retire,

The 45th Anniversary of my first day in insurance claims would be June 9, 2025. I’ll miss the 45th Anniversary by one month. I’m okay with that,
