I retired 5 years ago and have never looked back. Do it while your health is good and you can enjoy life. You’ll be glad you did.

“Do it while your health is good and you can enjoy life”
There is a lot to be said for that but it’s tough to enjoy life if you have to watch every penny. Money is not important if you have enough but if you don’t it becomes pretty damn important. So it retirement is a balance. I got on SS as soon as I could because I am convinced they are going to move the goal posts. They are going the have to something very soon. I am lucky enough to have a stable pension to help the cause. But those days are finished. Schools spend much time cultivating SJW’s but they do nothing to educate kids about financial security.
