Retire at 56? Here's My Numbers and Situation

[ivinsfan]

In your intro you say the company stopped the pension this year. Assume the 10 bucks a month for HC might be the next thing to go, because it is costing them a boatload of money.

I also think you are doing yourself a huge disservice by having both you and your spouse take SS at 62. Say you wife goes first and you lose both her SS and her pension income that's a big hit. One of you should probably wait until either FRA or 70 if possible.
