Welcome to SeniorForums. Online retirement forums and early retirement forums are great options for discussing money and getting answers to financial planning questions.I am planning on retiring in April 2018 when I turn 62. More than a few of us would like to discuss life in retirement let's discuss anything BUT investments or investment strategies. I have some questions regarding the New York State Retirement System but first let me tell you my background. I'm currently in tier 6. On this forum, we see a lot of younger folks(under 40) that want to move to NYC. A grumbling 'got to go to work' spouse is not what you need to start your retirement. If you are retired, please go to the Retiree and Beneficiary Forms section. Retirement Online now offers more services and time-saving features.
