I retired at 55. That was 22 years ago. Man, time sure flies when you're having fun!
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

I retired at 62. That was going on 4 years ago now. I'm finally doing all the things I've always wanted to do before, but was too busy working.
It's sure nice having a 7 day weekend!

I have been self-employed most of my life. At 66 I started collecting S.S.. Still not retired. 72 now and still working 7 days a week. Gov't is taking too much so I need to cut back on something.
Life is good when you have a daily workload of doing what you love. Please don’t retire soon, or lest us know before you do. I’ll need to make a huge $$$ order to stock up.

December 25,2022. I was 66 and 4 months. I am fighting a bad back but otherwise healthy' if I can get it figured out I should be good for 20 years of fun.

I plan on working til the day of my funeral. On that day I recommend quitting early so you can wash up and get on your good suit. I'll start drawing SS when I turn 70. Four more years. Like Warrior I'll be farming right up until it's time for me to be composted myself.

Been trying to retire for over 5 years now. They keep upping the Pay and Benefits. Now I will retire in 1 1/2 years for sure because my wife said so. She wants to enjoy the Grandkids. That will put me at 30 years underground playing with stuff that I respect with men that I respect. I will take my pensions and payouts and enjoy the outdoors.
God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.
