Hi, I have been lurking here for the last couple of months and have finally developed the nerve to ask a couple of questions. I am 57 years old and work for the US Government. I have 32 years and three months an eligable to retire. My wife retired 1 April this year. My main question is should I follow her and go ahead and retire. I really want to, but as a lot of you know there is always second thoughts, but you guys got me really thinking about it. We dont have a lot saved away maybe around 160K in different IRAs, TSP, stock and mutual funds. Our main source of income would come from my retirement and my wife's retirement (County Government). With both her and my retirement we should net around $4,100 to $4,200 a month that is after taxes, health and life insurance, and survivors benefit for my wife. I still owe about 22K on the house mortage which ends up costing about $412.00 per month and should be paid off in about three to four years. No other loans or CC debit. Cost of living is fairly low in this area. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. THanks
