Congratulations for making a major milestone.

I hope I'm not that far behind you. I have always worked in private industry, no real pension to speak of. I've been diligent in saving in my 401-K plans, so I should be fine. I had planned to retire this year, but Covid came along and my employer allowed me to work from home. Some of the things I planned to do after retireing were put on hold due to Covid, so I just continued to work. I'm really hoping my employer will offer early retirement or lay off next year, which would be a gift to me. I'll be 63 1/2 next spring, so I can use COBRA insurance to bridge until I am Medicare eligible.
