I think that unless someone knows what the future will bring and how long we will live it's a calculated guess wich option is best.

Not getting bad vibes, just interested in why I got a call I didnt ask for, and beyond belief just how pushy the guy was. Funny thing is 2 days before that, I got a call from a nice lady letting me know they recieved my forms, and simply said she wanted to make sure I wanted to vow out of the...

Thanks for the replies Getting a little off topic, I was/am interested in the phone call I got. Is the guy supposed to represent me, a fellow employee, or the State? I'd like to adresss a few comments. I should have mentioned it in the first post, but this lump sum/pension has no bearing on my...

Yes 6 years more give a higher net worth, but if 6 years is good, 10 would be better, but at 59 only 3 more years to collect SS at 62, but 62 is the reduced anount, so might as well go 5 more years to get the full benefit, but by that time it will most likely be raised to 70, at that point...

Your guess makes sence. The way the guy was so pushy when he called, made it seem like he gained something from getting me to change my mind. Mabey just a dedicated employee looking out for the citizens of the State.

The guy that called me was a State employee, I looked him up on the peoplesoft employee resource page, and he sent a letter directly from PERS (public employee retirement system), showing me the same thing I see when I log into my account, but highlighted the guaranteed amount. He liked to use...

I worked for the State for the last 16 years, and this spring after running the numbers, I felt that my lifetime goal of retiring early was finaly here, so May 1 was my last day, and just happened to be my 49th birthday. I chose the lump sum because of my age and limited years worked I would...

Thanks for the links, I will keep checking. Don't have a Discount tire anywhere in the state. I don't live near a Sam's club, but am a plus member getting a reduced rate add on from a family member. Usually get back there once a month and see they have a pretty good price on Pirelli Scorpion...

Don't see any rebates on the Continental website, but will check next month again. I haven't watched the Tire Rack video's yet, planning on this weekend, but started reading their test results, the LX25, and AS Plus 3 looked good, and had very high customer ratings with a lot of miles driven...

Not anymore, both wife and I are upper 40's and no longer in a hurry to get places.

I can't remember if I checked when they were new, but sounds about right. Wore pretty fast for 16000 miles.

I am looking forward to an upgrade, but also would like to get more use out of the current set... don't know how long until I cave and buy new ones.

The Continental TrueContact Tour 54 is not a Walmart only tire, I see it listed on other tire stores online page with a similar starting price of $205

I'm a little undecided on going with all weather, we live in a very small town, a speed limit of 25, no traffic light's, just a few stop signs. We watch the weather close before leaving town. The majority of the miles we drive are longer 60 to 170 mile trips, so would like a tire that is suited...

They do have a fair amount of tread left, but are bottom tier, so don't mind looking early and maybe get lucky and score a decent deal.

Thanks, that's the kind of upgrade I'm looking for. You don't happen to remember the model of Continentals?

The majority of cabin noise is from the tires, on a newer smooth stretch of highway, it is very quiet.

Thanks, but we don't have one close enough to utilize paying for a membership.

The price is nice, but a little concerned with the noise that some of the reviews complained about, might not be much of an upgrade.

The price listed on Walmart site is about $118 off for 4 without a mail in rebate, so a little better deal, have to see if a local place will price match.
