I had the opportunity to take my pension early at 57 and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I work part time now to bridge the gap between the pension and expenses.
3 days a week doing something I love with people I like instead of dreading that alarm every morning.
Much Thanks for the replies all, I’m very grateful. I think I might do it. So for about 3 years I’ll be a 50K guy, after that no limit where they penalize. I can live with that, I have no debt. Heck I’m only a 50K guy now. I’ve made more than that working part-time for myself in the past, why wouldn’t I do that in the future. What is the point in holding on for a few more years to make a few hundred dollars more a month in the future none of us has guaranteed?
