Hi! I have lurked on this forum for years, and finally signed up. I’m half of a mid/late 50s couple. I teach at a state university, and can officially retire in five more years. We are fortunate in a couple of respects. First, I will have a (non-COLA) pension that should be sufficient to meet our needs. (I track our expenses religiously.) We have other investments that will provide a generous BTD supplement. Second, our child has a full ride scholarship, so our college fund will be available to pay for graduate school.
I’d like to retire early, but am concerned about access to health insurance. My wife and I are two presidential elections away from Medicare, so I’m a bit reluctant to rely on ACA options.
In any case, I don’t have any questions at the moment, but am glad to have this forum as a resource should something come up.
Happy New Year!
