I will be 62 in January. My health insurance is really good. I'm only working until I get a few more body parts replaced. Just had a shoulder replacement in January so one more shoulder, and two hips before I'm done.

Retired the first time at 61, the 2nd time at 66 and sold the business and part time work at 71. I am 75 now, I feel I finally figured out how to stay retired and enjoy it.

I retired at 56, 35 years with USDA. Now I work physically harder on my farm but love it. Much less stress. I would do it the same if doing it over.

I'm 56 and like my job. I figure I'll give retirement a thought in five or six years.

50.
I have a cousin who has no hobbies and is still working at 65.
Doesn't have any plans to retire.
I find that rather sad.

I'm getting fairly good at retiring.

Retired from my state job (forester) at 54.

Retired from outfitting hunters at 66.

Retired from contract fire fighting at 73.

Can I retire from gardening and trapping now?

I retired last June, 60 year old. Taught Social Sciences for 30 years. Returned to teach Ag for a maternity leave then teacher resigned. Sigh. Got a call two weeks ago, teacher, "resigned" that replaced me. I'm back til the end of the year June 4th. Then I am done subbing, will still coach the Softball team a couple more years. I am retiring , retiring June 4 2023. LOL Going to North Carolina to watch our great nephews race, one is with JRMotorsports. Then Alaska trip this fall.

I will retire in May of 2024, My wife will be 65 and can then get Medicare.

How do you young guy retire so early? I work for insurance or I would have retired earlier.

I checked on insurance for my wife and I and its right at 1400.00 a month or the two of us. Its basically the same insurance as I have right now.

You like doing gardening Pete, and you already planted one new tree this year. Keep up the good work!
