Looks like I’m one of the few that plans on working until 70. I’m 66 now and there’s always the possibility that something comes up to cause a change in plans. The GM assembly plant where I’ve been a skilled trades electrician for over 36 years does not yet have new product allocation. It could close in a few years and I’ll be done then. In the mean time my medical costs are lower while an active employee and I receive yearly benefits like profit sharing. Each year I work past 30 also increases my pension. Working until 70 will max my SS plus it will increase the SS survivor benefits for my wife.
