And fortunately, you don't have to go very far to find some of the best Vette-roads and scenery in WA state.

I'll wave if i see you. Congrats.

Now kick back and enjoy the good life.
Working for a living is very overrated.

You can collect SS at 62 but at a reduced rate. Depending on when you were born full retirement varies. Mine was 66. I don't know the date but I think full retirement is now 67 or if you wait till your 70 you get the big bucks LOL

Grab all you can at 62. You might not see 63.

Been refired for 1 1/2 years after 40 years of working. Hope you enjoy every minute but remember you are not retired but refired.

Cheers

I wish you many years of joyous retirement, while the younger folks work hard to pay their F.I.C.A. taxes, to keep the money flowing.

I retired when I was 53 years of age. I have been blessed with 18 carefree, and healthy years of retirement.

I've seen so many folks plan for retirement at age 59 1/2, or 62, or 65, only to die of a stroke, or heart attack just before, or just after they retired.

Life is too short, and too unpredictable, my advice is to retire as soon as possible, and discover life without work, and stress!
