I'm counting down the days to do this.... Sm - Eager one

Posted: Feb 13th, 2020 - 9:02 am In Reply to: Early retirement at 62. - MT

Until about 3 years ago I was determined to wait until 67 to get more benefits - but with the way our industry has changed I am eager to take benefits at 62 and stop having to work 70-80 hours a week to get the same money that I got in 40 hours a week not even 5 years ago. I will still have to work some but at least not as much.
