Retiring

I'll be 62 in April and am in pretty good health..........well, I'll see what the Dr says next month. And you know what? I am seriously thinking I'd like to retire in a year or 2 (at the most).

  • Hubby is 6 years younger than me, still working, & carries insurance on both of us 
  • I do have money set aside from a previous job
  • We do, basically, live week to week though 
  • 90%  of my earnings are for the things I want, whether it's a trip or new carpet
I have so much I want to do, there's no way I'd be bored! But I do only work 2-3 days per week right now, it's not a bad job, and the pay is more than minimum, and my days are somewhat flexible. But I've worked most of my adult life, raised children, and attended school at night. I just don't want to work anymore. I enjoy being a homemaker...really, I do!

H E L P!!!!!
Who do I need to talk to? What do I need to do/know? Please leave me a comment or email me with  your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions!
Thanks!

  1. If you like your job, you may as well keep working...the extra money is nice! Plus, it keeps your mind active and young.

  2. My husband and I will be able to retire on a couple years too. He has a retirement specialist through his union that will advise exactly how much $ he will get and when etc. we will relocate to a warmer climate; I would be bored if I retired in new England!
    My husband is counting the days~
    We've read a lot and talked to a lot of people to help us determine what and when. It's a big decision; take your time and do your research. AARP is a good resource.
