This describes my position rather well. Retiring and taking pension (no SS) will leave us in the same tax bracket with lower income, because of losing deductions for TSP and FEHB premium.
I keep not wanting to get into that position, but the only other choice is to keep working full-time and watching life drain away. Sometimes you gotta cut the cord, even if it means your longer-working cow-orkers will have more $ and end up in a higher-class old age home than you will

I You could easily end up working another year or two, and if the market declines, end up having a lower net worth. Then what? Work another year or two? I've had the same experience of losing friends/family at a young age and it sure motivated me to enjoy life now.
