    Life is too short to not use my leave. I have balance, it's just not maxed out. Never has been and probably never will be.

    Here's a tip for all of you with more than just a few years on the job....it will put a smile on your face like it did for me when an "old timer" told me about 22 years ago. Think how much you were making when you first maxed out your leave balance. Calculate it on a per paycheck basis so you can really picture it. Then look at how much that 240 (or however much) is worth on todays payscale.

    It took me a few years but having my 240 on the books sure was nice when I retired.
    May the force be with us.

    Even better....rollover your 240 hrs and add on another 208 for the current year, and retire in December 2018 with 448 hrs on the books!!

    THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKIN’ ABOUT!!!

    There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who know binary, and those that don't!!
    Retired on December 31, 2018!!

    It's never too soon to start panicing.

    Dow futures point to a more than 1,000-point fall at the open

    Putting the rest of my money to work. I'm not at all confident that we won't pull back, an possibly retest the lows, but with the IFT limits, I don't want to miss out on the potential recovery either.

    I am still out there hanging on a cliff, waiting for positive returns. I'd like to think of it as buying stocks on sale. It's ok to call me crazy. This market is crazier, so I don't feel so crazy. LOL!
