I'd be soo very happy to retire at 62. I started my first job at 17 so after working some p/t jobs, f/t jobs, and f/t and p/t at the same time, I'll be ready. 45 years is enough. The plan is moving to a LCOL area. We have relatives and friends in FL and as long as prices don't go up 300% we should be fine. Hopefully, we'll sell our home, buy in FL, use that money with SS to live on. It will be years (aprox 10 yrs) before we'll have to touch my pension, DH's pension, and our 401s. Here's hoping  . |

How do you define work? Is it working for pay? IMHO I think most define it as working for $$ where your time / hours are defined. Can't be where you eventually get SSA as SAHP get spousal SSA. Shouldn't be where you perform a task that can be monetized as that then gets into the debate as to whether SAHPs and working parents should be subsidized as their duties exceed the monetary compensation FWIW: I plan to 'work' as long as I like it. I FIREd at 50 and now I'm building the legacy account. It's fun to see the power of compounding. But college in a yr for GS1 might sidetrack some of those dollars |
