I have a question for all who support retiring early. Once you have collected all the money you and your employer have put into S.S. plus a reasonable amount of interest are you not on public welfare like everyone else who receives money they have not earned? This is a question I have thought about every time someone supports retiring early.
We have argued about this before on T-Man. Yes. Same goes for SSDI. One of the first threads I ever read on this forum was one over SSDI. I was surprised at how many admitted to milking it.

Ks wolfer, you’re very right, you have to live in the now, but do it wisely. Don’t steal your future to fund your now. A lot of people do die before retirement, but a lot more live to retirement and spend their last years in poverty because they didn’t plan on a future. Agreed--- failure to plan is a plan for failure--- just keep in mind that the future is uncertain

Was told at 62 old, can get $1000 roughly after taxes. Soacil security, not much a month, can work up to $18 k a year without worries deductions, That $18,000 is total gross household income. If anyone else living in your house has an income that counts against the $18k. If you will be getting a W2 form for working after retirement social security and medicare taxes will still be deducted. If you choose Medicare part B coverage the monthly deduction from gross SS benefit is about $100.

Dave, I know you won't listen but if you are only going to get about 1k a month at 62 you can't afford to start Social Security.
The cold hard facts are you should wait until you are 67.
When you get to be 75 that 1,000 a month won't even pay your taxes and medicare.

I took early SS retirement.
If I am lucky enough to die in the next ten years, I win. Dave, I know you won't listen but if you are only going to get about 1k a month at 62 you can't afford to start Social Security.

Negative, Steven 49er. Maybe that works for you, Maybe not. Remember there are five full years of income when you are still young enough to enjoy it, before age 67. My accountant did the math. In my case age 83 is where the lines cross. BTW, Bob: You present some pretty decent information. My suggestion to you is try to mix in a little reading about diplomacy and people skills in with your Wall Street Journal.

TRex, is you first name Dave? If it is I apologize if you thought I was referring to you. The OP's name is Dave, from reading his posts over the years he's not going be able to live of his social security when he gets too old to work. That is all he's going ot have

Retirement is something non of us will ever have to worry about.
The new Socialist government will take care of all our needs, cradle to grave.
Relax.
At least that's true for most of us. Bob, you might want to keep all that loot kind of transparent, so as not to have the government grab it.

How old are you,,and how old are you going to be when you die? What difference does it make how old I am, lets just say I'm in the last half of my life. Again, Dave's only retirement is going to be his SS and maybe a small 401k. If he gets a 1k a month from SS and this is a complete long shot another 1k from a 401 type plan the question is can one live on that. The answer is no.

Depending on where you live 1g a month could be way more than you need to live good.

Stephen 49er, I agree with you on coonmans situation. If he had a paid for home, a 3 to six month emergency fund saved and no debt whatsoever maybe he could survive on 2k a month, but by reading his posts here I know that’s not his situation. He wouldn’t be able to really live, but he could survive.

I have a Brother in law that lives in the remnants of what I suspect may have once been a trailer home. He has electricity. No water. The only heat is from a wood stove that he stokes with the occasional downed tree he finds on the road. A large part of his food is road kill that hangs from a tree outside his front door. It sits there all winter, and he just takes off a slice now and then. Showers and water are no problem. He goes down to the township fire station, where they accommodate him.
The poor guy can't work, because it is too stressful. Therefore he gets money from SSI. He needs someone to take care of him, so the government pays his wife to be his caretaker.
So, at age 60 he has in effect been retired for more than 30 years, and makes several thousand dollars/month. I know he doesn't save it, so, I suspect he has a supplier or two that live pretty well.
Don't worry about retirement; the government will take care of you.
