I have decided.....
« on: April 06, 2016, 06:58:01 AM »

I am retiring at 62.  I could work to 65 or 67 and get a bigger Social Security Check but those extra years could be the best ones so I am cashing in my chips in 13 years and going full time unemployed. 

Anyone here retire early?  Is 62 considered early?

I'm going to retire before that.  I'm going off the grid, growing dreadlocks, and squatting when I poop.

I am downsizing....but probably staying on the grid.  I need running water and a toilet.

Got to have your insurance under control, is the wife going to keep working so you can get on hers? If so she will end up leaving you on the side of the road some place.  :pot:

By then who knows what the situation will be with healthcare.  I may decide to go Cobra until I have Medicare.  IT is something to think about.  Wife is retiring in a few years.

Wayne and I retired at 56 and 54.  You don't have to take SS just because you retire...you could wait until you are at their required age.  Just make sure you are out of debt and if you don't have some kind of pension coming in then go get a part time job at a bike shop or something else that you enjoy doing, to bring in beer/gas money.

If you don't love what you're doing, then don't do it.
Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.

Yikes.  The wedding should be a fraction of the college and I only have 1 each to pay for.  We'll see...I am making it a goal now so will start working towards that.  If I end up having to work to 65 so be it.  I should have enough vacation to still do a few things I have been wanting to do by then.
