If going to work is a chore, it is time for a change.
For me, I could have retired earlier. Why did I wait?
Several reasons (not all good):
1) I actually enjoy my job and, until recently, it has been big fun to go to work;
2) I wanted to be eligible for Medicare as private insure is expensive;
3) My son has a disability, and my company insurance is much easier to deal with than the disability folks;
4) My daughter, who just turned 26 has been on my insurance until the end of this month.
If you can do it, do it. enjoy your self and do good things.

Harry, I'm kinda with you here. I also experienced a divorce at the age of 60 - that was a 4yr ordeal. I don't want to tell you what the legal fees were and the settlement but it altered my retirement plan. There is allot of truth to the " cheaper to keep her" saying.
If you have the means and a plan to keep active, I would go for it. All the best to those who do -
