I retired at 58, because I could. Not for any altruistic impulse of giving younger people an opportunity. I was tired of being worked like a rented mule.
This. My number is 57,
I had to wait til 62. By 60 I wanted to go, and I looked at possibilities of retiring and lasted out the next two year because of the benefits. People looked at me and I said my father died at 78, both my grandfathers died in their 80s, but the ages are foolers, because they were bedridden that last two years, and had trouble getting around before that. If I wait till 65 and max everything out, I could die at 68 and what good was that? So I retired at 62 and 6 days later flew to Japan.
