His passion | My greatest passion is helping others. |
His financial goals | To be secure in retirement. Meaning: to duplicate my pre-retirement take-home income. |
His idea of success | Having a career that is productive, a family that is well and prosperous, and the retirement income that supports my years of retirement and has enough left over to improve my children's lives. Being a part of the University's Retirement Plan helps me realize those successes. |
His idea of retirement | The growth of my retirement nest egg at Pitt, plus other savings, has enabled me to do what I want, when I want. When my wife developed emphysema, I could afford to put an elevator in my house. Now I use it as much as she does! After I retired, we were able to take a cruise through the Panama Canal and host our family to a 75th birthday party at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort. I like woodworking and nice cars. We live nicely, and are able to spend most of our time helping others. |
