How many times have we heard “I’d leave at 60, but Medicare doesn’t kick in until 62.”

Well.... Start calling them out, Biden today announced he’ll have Medicare start at 60. Let’s see if it was just puffing....

Call who out? Everyone has the right to go to 65. Why would you care what anyone says about when they would leave. I'm sure with the current market, a lot of guys are probably rethinking retirement plans.

I think Medicare starts at 65 not 62 currently.

Yeah, I think a lot of people would be happy if it started at 62.....or 60, but the age is 65. FedEx health coverage is unbelievably expensive.

My personal opinion, I don't want to be the richest man in the graveyard. I'm out of here as soon as my mortgage is paid off which is about a year and a half. Everybody has a different situation and I don't begrudge their decision if they stay till 65. What good is a pile of cash if you're not healthy enough to enjoy it? This virus situation just adds another variable to the equation.

Great, leave!

Thanks for the life advice. How about letting people make their own decisions with their retirement plans?

Lighten up there Francis! I was just relating my own thought process and not demanding others follow it. You must be a treat to fly with. Now I remember why I never posted here for about 20 years.

Or alternatively, improve the Pre-65 Retiree plan on the next contract negotiations...

GolfandFly is a troll. He begrudges others opinions but himself cant even make the tough calls. He complains about everything but fails when it comes to standing up.
