Its not that easy for many us to leave MT - as we have spent the past 30 plust

Posted: Jan 12th, 2017 - 6:16 pm In Reply to: I work for Jay, and I can say that he treats his employees with respect - sm

years in this profession and nearing retirement. Where else is there to go. I have spent 30+ years as an MT, this year will be 62 years old, my net is about 500 biweekly. If didn't have my elderly mom's (whom I take care of) income, I would be on the streets. If I obtain Social Security at 62, I will only get 1450 a month, if I wait to 66-1/2 I get 2000 a month. I don't know if I can hold out another 4-1/2 years, so I'm sort stuck between a rock and a hard place.
