elgabilities of earliy retirement

Early retirement can mean a variety of things:
-- Quitting your job before you start Social Security
-- Starting Social Security at the first possible opportunity -- age 62
-- Quitting your job, but still working in some capacity
-- Quitting your job and taking some incentive offered by the company, but looking for work elsewhere
-- And more....

No matter how you define Early Retirement, it is not advisable for most people -- especially given the current economic situation. Consider the following:

-- If you delay the start of Social Security until the maximum retirement age, your monthly benefits wil increase significantly. Learn more about delaying Social Security here:

-- Private health insurance is incredibly expensive. And, seniors are not eligible for Medicare until age 65.

-- Amassing adequate income to reliably support yourself until you die -- not knowing when that is of course -- is more difficult than most people realize. This is especially true when you consider the potential for inflation and other financial uncertainties.
