The good news is when I've done the math it doesn't make that much difference except in the case of very long life, say past 95 where waiting is clearly better. Obviously if you need the cash now to spend you take it. I tend to do life using the Buddha's middle path and will probably start it at 65 and not fret over it! |

15 years left for me God-willing. Seems like forever at this point, but that would put me at 60 which I think is good. Roughly 7 years from SS and 5 from Medicare. Enjoy your retirement and watching our Chiefs win another 3 SBs during!

If I were you I’d go sit down with a CFP professional to build out a financial plan for yourself and wife. I hear Schwab does these at no cost so maybe start there. Then you’ll know exactly how all your pieces come together and when it makes the most sense to take SSI. You’ll also know where your spending threshold lies. As a financial advisor with 18 years experience and a CFP designation that’s what I’d suggest!

Well that’s great…for you. Sounds like you’re in a good place which is fantastic. Not everyone is so confident with their retirement. That’s why I'm employed

I retired in may, played a lot more golf this last summer and more trips to the lake of the ozarks. Got through the VA process and getting some things done for me that I’d put off for many many years. Since I’m not good enough to make the senior golf tour, I do have a fed job lined up to be my retirement gig, and use my military time towards a second pension in about 8 years.
Then the wife and I are going to upgrade our boat and do the great loop for a whole year. Take the river to the gulf, around the panhandle, up the eastern coast l then into the Great Lakes and back to the river and down to St. Louis. If you do it right l, you spend winter in Florida and summer in the Great Lakes. After that probably change to an RV as I get too old to boat. See the world, travel, visit old friends and family. Whatever you do, have fun. You have earned it! |

I retired at 54 in 2017 and bought a really nice bass boat and a lake house at Lake Texoma. My wife became really ill on May of 2018 and I've since been having to take care of her, sold my lake house this year. She'll never be to a point where I can get away so , I just enjoy watching Chiefs Superbowl victories.
