I hope our next contract provides a standard of compensation and benefits that gives us the ability to financially retire at 60 as the norm.
I'm younger than you and find that work interferes with getting 8 hours of sleep on an overnight, but hopefully the new FT/DT limits will fix that.

Looking at the chart, 55 is a nice goal but realistically 60 is the number with 62 probably being reality, unfortunately. There is no way I plan to stay long enough for my age to equal my golf score!
