I am 53 and would like to retire in 2 years. My current salary is $200K and my wife about $20K. We spend about $6,500 per month including a mortgage of $2,500. House is valued at $600K with $300K owed. We currently have a 401K slightly over $1M, a pension of $425K and a
Title over $100K in savings.
My dilemma is if I leave at 55 I receive 50% medical. If I go until 60 I leave with 85% & 80% for my wife. Additionally, if my 401K can reach $1.2M and the pension will likely be at $500K, How do I access the money without penalty or going on fixed distributions (72T). How do I generate the $6500 per month plus an additional estimated $750 for medical if I leave at 55. Or is it best to wait until 60?
