FYI: A friend of mine retired last year, at age 62. I thought it was weird, so I asked him why. “The work environment has become unpleasant. I didn’t like the way I was being treated. I could work longer, but why bother if it isn’t appreciated? I’m healthy. I own my house. I have some savings. I could take Social Security. I can make old cars run. I live simply. I live very inexpensively. So why not quit? Why not do what I want?”
Like millions of others, he had faced a serious decision: work a bit longer, or retire now?

Ted
