Yes I'll only be 63 when I start receiving them in July but I've got a couple of health issues and I'm betting on losing if you get my meaning. Hope I'm wrong.
The money will help offset those huge healthcare premiums and more importantly right now -Physiologically It locks in my date 7/31. No more OMM! I feel relieved.
It occurs to me 63 isn't early retirement but I think as it stands now it we may need to change our thinking. I'll have 2 years of me paying full healthcare. Not sure of the exact number yet but It's bigger then my SS. My company will pay a small offset - they told me last year full price was $3,300 a month. Funny My one and only mortgage payment was around $1,200 a month. My college budget was $2500 a year. Daughters coming off so. It will drop a bit.
Not sure about any but a few having the ability to retire without benefits... the numbers are staggering.
$3,300 x 12 = $39,600 annually.
