She had always said when I retired she was going to retire. When I was 66 she told me she would keep working until she could get Medicare at age 65.

Chris... Posted March 12, 2019 Share #9 Posted March 12, 2019 I’m semi retired right now. The wife is planning on retiring at 60(3 years). Her health insurance continues after retirement at the same cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parr8hed Posted March 12, 2019 Share #11 Posted March 12, 2019 the health care is a BIG deal. When dad retired I remember that he had a big cash payment for health care. His current plan would just continue as it was until he dies, but it was like 120K if I remember right? I will probably have to work until I am 80. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never have to pay that much if I bought add-on private health insurance in Canada. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations on the years of putting yourself in a position where you can make that decision! When I was 56, I was having a lot of leg problems (now mostly healed!) and my sister asked what would be the difference between retiring then and retiring at 59 as I had planned. I told her it would mean being very frugal for a few years then I'd be in about the same position. She said, "Duh!" and that was it: I retired at 56. The clincher was the fact I accepted and offer, out of the blue, for an unusual 4-year mortgage by Wells Fargo at age 52 that cut a few years off my mortgage and ended shortly after I retired.
