When do you think you will be able to retire

Poll coming

At what age do you think you will be able to retire? I am curious to see how optimistic the SD community is.

SAHM directions Please indicate the age that you think your GTWD (go to work Dad) will be able to retire. I know most of you work hard during the day, but that's not what I am asking about Smilie

Well if you include all the times I've quoted myself while eating Reece's then my post count would be well over six million.

I think they've already raised the SSI retirement age to 72 for people in my age bracket.

Despite all the talk in recent years I didn't realize they ever actually raised the retirement age. When did that happen and what are the age brackets now?

I didn't think I had ever heard that it changed, although I am sure it is just a matter of time.

I'd be happy if they would just call it even and give me all the money back that I put in and let me invest it myself.

You could put off your SS claim until you are 70 to get a bigger monthly check but IMHO it isn't worth it.

Someone in really good health could probably benefit from it but I'm going to be feeling pretty fortunate if I make it to 70 so I think I am going to sign up soon as I am eligible. laugh out loud

He just told you that so you wouldn't feel bad, and you believed it EEK!

He's a prepper just like me, we talk the same language, and it's not chocolate Nono2
