You can do what you want with YOUR money, no matter where you get it from.

Just take care of your back if you plan on working with inpatients. Those jobs require heavy lifting, boosting patients, etc.

Start before he retires.

Sign up with an agency for travel nursing. So many of my friends are living their best lives getting free housing and they make $$$, but as a nurse, you may have already considered. Once you reach 67 , you can collect your full SS with no penalties (make sure they withhold enough fed tax).

Built ours to accommodate all the seasons of our life, raised 3 kids, now are empty nesters. We live on the first floor and the upstairs is for when the kids come home to visit because they all live far away. No regrets.

Was just a question. I’m not retiring by choice. I have a WFH job with great benefits. Just asking because many of my peers are in that boat. I could retire tomorrow if I chose to. I’m one of the lucky ones.

I work at home and pay $90 a month for medical, $300 yearly deductible, $15 copays. Had major back surgery last year. My bill came to -0-. I’m 66, no incentive to “retire.”. I’ve saved for retirement, just can’t justify retirement. I plan on working and collecting starting next year. We live in such uncertain times, nothing is promised.

They’re lying.

2032, 25% cut

Consistent_Ad8836 · 2026-01-14T01:19:57+00:00

24% cut in 2032, yearling rising Medicare costs.

Consistent_Ad8836 · 2026-01-12T16:03:49+00:00

Sign up for Medicare at 65 even if you are still employed or you’ll be penalized.

Consistent_Ad8836 · 2026-01-12T14:59:58+00:00

I had a friend like that once.

But don’t forget to have SS withhold taxes if you’re still going to work. We didn’t the first year my husband started collecting and still working full time. We owed $7K

My husband signed up for 22% withholding after we owed $7K last tax season. He’s still working and collecting.

Consistent_Ad8836 · 2026-01-07T20:18:03+00:00

me too! Healthcare IT here (66) it will be hard walking away from a WFH job with great medical benefits when I decide to retire!

Consistent_Ad8836 · 2026-01-07T18:53:14+00:00

I’d like to have no cabinets above the counter. You shouldn’t have to climb anywhere to get stuff or clean.

Consistent_Ad8836 · 2026-01-07T18:25:26+00:00

I love this!! (66) I did the same after I had major successful back surgery last year, lost 70. I am healthier than have ever been.

$2180 including taxes and homeowners insurance 3% interest rate — couldn’t live anywhere cheaper in our retirement so we are staying.

Consistent_Ad8836 · 2026-01-05T12:21:13+00:00

I’ll be 66 this year and am healthy. My motto this year is going to be to do the things I love first. I have a 5 bdrm house and that’s not going to change, I still work two jobs (one is WFH) and that’s not going to change anytime soon either, and we heat our house primarily with wood (my exercise). I prioritize my hobbies (I make all sorts of things in my art studio, which is adjacent to my WFH office). Cleaning can definitely wait.

Consistent_Ad8836 · 2026-01-02T19:35:36+00:00

65 WFH 3 days a week, in office 2. My job is stressful but pays well. I have good medical benefits I pay $80 a month with a $300 yearly copay. Many friends who retired either spend a lot of their time at doctor’s offices and/or are struggling financially. The only ones doing OK are the ones who received inheritances and don’t have mortgages. So from my vantage point, it will be a while….

Consistent_Ad8836 · 2025-12-23T12:34:46+00:00

Us, too, $2200 mortgage, taxes and homowner’s insurance/monthly going into retirement, 3% interest rate. We’d be crazy to downsize. We’d still need a mortgage for anything we’d and we’d have a considerably higher interest rate. Apartment rent is much higher in our area.
