i would have liked their dental plan , their life insurance , paid vacation time , etc . only thing i don’t need or want is their medical
but you need a minimum amount of hours for those perks , more then i want to work
I would think you'd have dental coverage under a Medicare advantage/supplemental plan? I do, and my former employer pays for it. I have never understood why dental isn't included under regular health insurance, as being able to eat and not having abscesses is pretty integral to overall health, but I rant...

i don’t want any advantage plan .. we have a quasi dental plan thru our own dentist that they offer. but it doesn’t cover much.
medicare and supplements have no dental coverage , that is only advantage plans
i would only take a for profit insurer controlled advantage plan if i couldn’t afford not for profit govt medicare and supplement

That's great to read, I'm glad for you. But for those of us with a car who commuted 5 days a week the costs would not go down, only up as prices rise.
True. But now I can buy a good car like the rest of you always have. I never could afford a train ticket AND a car payment for a vehicle that would sit home or in a parking lot. I drove beaters all my life and rented a car if I needed to take a trip.
Finally in 2012 I bought a 2010 when Sandy washed out my train bridge and I had to drive to work.
Lol, still have that car. Haven't yet pulled the trigger on a newer one. But soon. It's too small and I make noises getting in and out of it, but so good on gas.
we are doing more frequent longer drives in retirement so we went for a high end luxury car .
compared to our 2018 subaru outback our 2023 lexus rx500h is night and day
Ha. Outback is on my list (although the Forester looks better because it's two inches taller and that might be more important to someone of my height than it is to regular people). But I am not a "we" and I am not as rich as you are, so no Lexus for me.
A good late model, low mileage used car in one of the very reliable brands (we prefer Honda, Toyota, or Subaru) will last a long time with few repairs. It'll save you money over buying a brand new one and will last darn near forever. One or two years old with less than 12K miles would be great. It'll save you thousands. I've always driven these makes and they've always lasted many years. My last Honda went 18 years with only an AC repair in all that time. Just do your regular oil changes and recommended periodic maintenance.

I bought my 2010 Toyota Corolla in 2012 w about 27k on it. Now it has 179k and change. Except for the fact that I'm so tall and getting older so getting in and out is becoming awkward and uncomfortable, I still like the car. It's taken me to a lot of places, and I haven't had to put that much money into it repair-wise.

I couldn't do that. I'd end up in a car accident due to boring-car-induced narcolepsy... lol
Retiring in a couple months and I'm keeping my 2013 MINI Cooper JCW Roadster, and 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV. The Bolt is quick, fun, practical and cheap to own. The MINI is quick, fun, not terribly practical (2 seat convertible), but cheap to own. But who knows. If something interesting comes along...
