Client was a VP at a large company.
62 years old. Was going to work until 65.
January: called into HR.
Severance package. Sign by Friday.
He called me that afternoon.
"I think I just got retired."
No transition. No goodbye lunch. No plan.
His whole identity was that job.
His social life was those people.
His purpose showed up every morning at 7:45am.
The money was fine. We figured out the money in two meetings.
The identity took a few years.
He told me recently: "The hardest part wasn't losing the job. It was realizing I'd built my whole life inside someone else's building."
Retirement that happens to you hits completely differently than retirement you choose.
Millions of people in their 60s are navigating this right now and nobody is talking about it.

@benonwine I think we should find a rope and a tall post for them.

@WallStreetApes 120 payments = she held somebody else's money for 10 years. Investing $49.5K into the S&P 10 years ago would be worth $211.5K today. Even if she pays off the balance today, she has cost someone $136K in opportunity cost holding this money for so long.

American logs into her federal student aid account so we can see her actual loans and payments
- She took out a $49,548.74 loan
- She’s made 120 payments, paying $25,558.36
- Her current balance is $50,121.33
So after paying $25,558.36, she now owes more than she took out

WATCH: 'I’ve never been to a DOA involving a Somali — never in my career'
A former Minneapolis police officer who recently retired explains that even though he worked the streets for decades in the Somali community, he has never been to a call involving the death of a Somali.
“I find it very strange that something that happens routinely in the department on a daily basis, that you do not see any Somali DOAs. It’s very odd. I would love to know the reason why,” he added.

⚠️Ukrainian instructors sent to assist in the Middle East are shocked by how the US intercepts targets, according to The Times
According to Ukrainian officers and instructors from the Ukrainian Armed Forces, who were involved in the defense of the Gulf countries, "the US launched as many as 8 Patriot missiles at a single enemy target, each costing over 3 million dollars,"
and also: "I don't understand what they were doing, what they were watching for four years while we’ve been at war."

@WarChest33 @nacholeber Remember, they played a Wentz with a broken shoulder instead of a healthy McCarthy.
English

@nacholeber Not sure how people see it this way. Wentz was behind McCarthy on the depth chart last year…even had he not gotten hurt?? I see McCarthy/Murray competition and Wentz backup.
English

I believe there will be a true QB competition. So as of right now I would guess the depth chart would be:
Wentz
Murray
McCarthy
May the best man win
Tom Pelissero@TomPelissero
Veteran QB Carson Wentz is re-signing with the Vikings, sources tell The Insiders. So Minnesota’s QB room now features three former top-10 picks: Kyler Murray, J.J. McCarthy and Wentz, who played well last season before a shoulder injury.

Vikings fans are still underestimating the damage of the last four drafts.

The #Vikings are adding QB depth, signing Carson Wentz to a 1-year deal, per The Insiders.
Despite significant injury last year, Wentz started five games and kept the team alive. Now, back with JJ McCarthy and Kyler Murray.
