yes I did that a year ago -- no regrets - sm

Posted: Oct 11th, 2016 - 12:37 pm In Reply to: Anyone retired at age 62 but kept working - to receive health insurance

The smart people I know said you benefit better in the long run by taking it early and I wanted to reduce my hours. I can work 30 hr a week w/full benefits and with our measly wages, don't even make too much to where SS defers any payment. Then I cut back even more hours to where I don't have the insurance, but went with the dreaded Obamacare. Life is too short to continue with 40-hour weeks.
