[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 1053053, member: 6408"] All I'll add to this equation is that 63 worked for me. Was gonna go sooner but had some outside issues, mainly taking exclusive care of my mom before she died and then clearing out estate. Right now, I'm CLEARING more than when I was working. No, I'm not GROSSING as much, not contributing to 401 anymore, but with early SS and 33 yrs in with pension, am NETTING about 4-500 more a month. When working, had mileage run (feeders) that grossed about $2-21-22 or more hundred a wk. Take out max 401, SS and all the other doo-dads, I was taking home about $1,000 a wk. With pension, over 32 yrs, am grossing over $3200, taking home about $2800 a mo. SS, at age 63, am growwing about $1800-1900 a mo, taking home about $1500 a mo. That's about $4300, net, about 300-400 more a mo. Insurance was $200 ea for wife and me. Same exact coverage as when working. I am now forced to be on Medicare and pay more for supplements, etc. So, for ME, and ME ONLY, it's working just fine. Can golf, play with cars, swim in pool, do whatever I want, as long as health holds out. [/QUOTE]
