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.

I'm a Financial Adviser

Well, ya didn't tell me that. I thought you were just some dipshit with a brain fart.

At least you know what you're doing, unlike so many others.

Quoted from dar8dar:

I’m 61 soon to be 62 I put the max amount in my HSA for over 3 years and didn’t use any now I can pay for insurance the next 3 years out of that account until Medicare kicks in

You might want to check on using HSA money to pay for premiums. Normally you can't.

For those who worry about staying busy during retirement, you will have a few days each month where you may be bored out of your mind but it sure beats having to work that 8 to 5 grind.
