No word yet at work about early retirement. I'm not firming up anything until I'm ready. I only need to give 2 weeks notice, right?
I was talking to a neighbor Saturday night. He's 62 and took social security as soon as he turned 62. He's working 16 hours a week, 2 days, 5 day weekend. He says if he works any more it affects his benefits.

Only for 2 years or when he reaches 65, I forget which. I went through that 15 years ago when if I made more than 18K/year, they took 50% of my SS back. Something like that, you can look it up. Once I hit 65 I could make as much as I wanted but the Great Recession was going on so there wasn't a lot of money to be made. Not as a contractor.
I would have a higher benefit if I didn't take early benefits but I've already passed the payout difference.
