Take a flying leap off the nearest skyscraper, Yarrow. I’m retiring the day I turn 62, and I’d retire sooner if your beloved liberals weren’t stealing so much of my income. You are not entitled to my labor, and I am not morally obligated to work to support your socialist nanny state.

Bravo!!!! and ditto

That’s the smart thing to do, IMO. For many of us baby boomers, the difference in benefits between retiring at 62 rather than 66 will not be equaled until 76 YO.

IOW, if you retire at 62, your benefits will be reduced by 25% to 30%. If you wait until 66 to 67 to start drawing SS, it will take you at least until you are 76 before you have received the same total amount of money that you will be retiring at 62. (For those born in 1960, the break-even is at almost 79 YO.)
