I quit my job when I was 63. It was a stressful job and my blood pressure was sky high. I had a heart attack at 56 and did not know how long I had. Finally one day the company I work for pissed me off and I quit. I got tired of their bonus programs that dangle the carrot in front of you and you will never get it.
I get enough social security to get by without too much hardship. I would do it again in a heartbeat since my health is so much better without the stress.

I’ve been paying in since I was 15 and have always planned on waiting until I’m 70, but given the health issues I have at 64 versus 6 years ago (with no lifestyle changes and no vax) I am inclined to start at 67.
Mom passed at 84 with a bad ticker, Dad at 87 with COPD from asthma and trach/lung damage due to a house fire.
Funny how many times I have heard over the last 50 years that SS will not be there in another 10 years. LOL
No worries until they pass a law that US.GOV can’t borrow money.
