Re: Age you started Social Security?
Great conversation. Me and a friend always have the discussion about what amount do you need to retire. A friend of his retired at 52 w a million and no debt and is loving life. We always get into the discussion as to the "number" predicates the type of lifestyle you want to have, in terms of material things, travel etc.. as was already stated the unknown we all face is how long we live and what will be the quality of those years. My 87 year old mom still works because she believes staying active mentally and physically is key and I tend to agree. If you love what your doing and it affords the lifestyle that you like to have, keep doing it. However if you find yourself putting things off because of time you may want to think about using the time you have so you can live w/o regret. A quote I heard recently,
"A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams"
