The retirement really scares me. I had bad dreams as the brake were lost and there were miles of down hill ahead.
Glad to see everyone is comfortable in their retirement. It seems that as long as one could live within what they have, it is comfortable.
With several small pensions and SS...
The right answer to this question is: it depends.
For me, it will be $2110, $3228, or $4094, if I take my SS at 62, 67 (FRA) or 70. My plan is to take it at 70.
