You guys waiting many years before you plan to retire.  You're assuming you are going to iive a long life.  I saw a guy who died before he received his 1st retirement check.   :sad:

My father dropped dead of a heart attack just shy of his 61st birthday. I'll be retiring as soon as possible.

Happy birthday you young pup. I spent all my money on wild women, whiskey and wandering around on the Guzzis The rest of my money I wasted. Still started collecting SS at the first chance.

I've never seen a Brinx truck following a hearse.

Enjoy life and I know you do

Celebrate your youth by riding.  I STARTED riding at 71, and have thoroughly enjoyed the last 4 years.

I just did my first track day at 68. Nobody seemed to find that remotely surprising.

Before deciding to collect SS at 62, buy and read this book: Get What's Yours; The Secret to Maxing Out Your Social Security, by Kotlikoff, Miller and Solman. The last author, Paul Soloman, is the PBS News hour's economic correspondent.

IMHO, retirement is just another door opening.  This time you get to do what you really want to do.  Forget about the pay.  The options are endless.  I took every welding course the local community college offered.  That led to lots of community projects.  I got my merchant mariners license (50 ton) and helped sail a schooner to Bermuda.  I'm on the city Planning Commission.  After a few cross country motorcycle trips I'm thinking about trips under 1500 miles now.  The thing is, now you can do what makes you feel good.  If the gig turns out to be crap...you can always bail out.  The key is to keep your mind active.  Just my humble opinion at age 70.

We have had many friends and relatives die before turning 62. That was one of the main reasons I retired at 60. Even though I had what was overall a great job, it took me about 10 miles on the last drive home from my office to be adjusted to retirement. Have not regretted a moment so far.

62, it's either "young" or old. Depends upon your health(genes) and attitude. I cheated and married a young'n. Now I can mooch off her health plan at work until I turn 65 otherwise I never could have been paid to not show up.

My biggest issue, not looking as young as I feel. :P

I can't chime in on what to do as I am ignorant on that subject and predict that I will be working until the day my heart stops beating...

But, I can say Happy Birthday Buddy!

I thought you had won a bike on ebay that you wanted. Shot, now I'm not sure which was the better deal!  :grin:

Do we take bets on whether you see 63 now?  :evil:
