ABS Conversion

PB,

In my field it seems like most work until we can’t, then retire and die in 6 months. I’d like to avoid that and retire in a few years(and not die in 6 mos). Believe me, I really didn’t want to be doing this past 60, but here I am

That is a concern, as my paternal grandfather retired at age 66, went on a trip, had a massive heart attack and it was all over, circa 1960.

My dad considered his father's demise, retired at age 58 and lived to 91, so there are exceptions...but he also kept busy.

I started drawing Social Security at 67, but did not retire until 70, to help middle daughter with health issues (Lyme Disease).

I figured that I would continue to consult, but employer closed there doors ~3 months after I retired.

Finding activities is VERY important.

That is so true

I’ll start drawing SS next year when I get full draw with no offset due to my job. Then I can use the money to buy beer at the VB meetup!!

.. and if we meet = I'll keep your word for it....easy, my alcohol annual consumption is near zero
