Why not retire at 62! No guarantee you will live to reach an older age so retire early and have some fun!

unless your govt or some big company most people do not have health insurance when they quit...Medicare doesn't start until you're 65....that is a stumbling block for many....

I at 66 still work 2 days a week...I decided to put in for SS at 65 and 1/2...they deduct a lot if you are still working but now, I'm getting my SS and my paycheck with no deducts.....and its coming in very handy to have all they extra income...
