I think your idea to cut out Disney and stick to UOR is the best plan. You love Universal and won’t really miss Disney, or at least not as much as you’d miss the entire trip if you cancelled it.
Btw, how does retirement work in the UK? How much longer do you have to work until you can start collecting pension benefits (social security for us), and do you think you’ll keep working after that?
Are you implying he is old? Because he and I are the same age…
Who knows … some people retire at age 50! 
I do. He needs some tough love. 
I’d take Disney w/o merch over Universal with merch. But that’s me.
Ooh! Just 5 months left for me, then!
(Of course, I might end up on the streets of San Francisco if I tried that, so maybe I had better hold off a little longer.)
I wish!
Same.
Not in THIS economy 
I just went and GOT a job. 
Oh not me!
My universal trip and new hoodie both make me smile.
If
That’s kinda my feeling.
Why are people trying to get me to spend more money? The idea is to spend less. UOR is free.
Of course I do. I’m a gay.
Definitely. Indeed, if I do go I’m hoping to stay at one of the more resorty hotels, if I can get a deal.
I get my teachers pension from age 60, but that will only be about $3,000 a year. I get my state pension at 68, and that will be about $10,000 a year. I’m basically screwed.
I’ll have to, but I’d want to anyway. Just less than now. Well, less than I’m supposed to be doing now but aren’t.
I do like merch, but there are people who spend way more on merch than I do, e.g. @TheSafetyLady, who has all the best merch.
WHAT?!?! How does one retire in the UK? I thought you people were a socialist country. Someone lied to us over here. Or did you leave your pension in the EU coffers?
You live in San Francisco?
I LOL’d. Thank you.
Park tickets are free, but the accommodations could be much cheaper not at UOR and food would likely be cheaper and better elsewhere. It’s only the park admission that’s covered.
You could take a cruise cheaper than the hotel at UOR and food would be included.
What does that have to do with liking museums???
Wow, I agree.
We have the lowest state pension in Europe, or something. We’re really not very socialist at all.
That’s all they do where you are. And the funny thing is, you morons keep falling for it.
Art galleries. All gays love them. Fact.
That’s around the US minimum for 30 years of working credits. Sad that a teacher, especially one as intelligent as @sanstitre_has_left_the_building would make similar. I was also under the impression that the European retirement system had better benefits. Maybe they lie elsewhere.
Greatest regret of 2021? Going on that dumb cruise.
