Quoted from Rondogg:49 and also looking at 55 for retirement. Hopefully there are some better healthcare options than there are today in 2024 but either way I have a game plan. I know a lot of people who retire at 62+ who have had serious medical issues once they retired. I still have a lot of stuff I want to do and I want to be young/healthy enough to enjoy them.
A lot of my goals rely on the US economy continuing its long boom. A recession/depression and all bets are off.
I hope you have a good plan for a 55 retirement. I've had friends say the same thing, until I point out to them that retiring at 55 instead of 62 means you'll not be saving 7 additional years, but will actually be spending 7 additional years. Also, those last 7 years of saving is when the interest compounding really adds up.
