Congrats!
I'm 65 this year in September.
Since my 50th, I've had cancer (chemo/radiation, chemo port surgery in and out), major elbow surgery (distal bicep tears) on both elbows, 6 major right shoulder surgeries (it's now metal and plastic), numerous kidney stones (a few requiring lithotripsy) and covid...and other stuff I'm sure I've missed. I feel fine, but I'm tired and can be bit achy from time to time. I hope to retire on my 65th or by the 1st of 2024. I mentioned that to my wife (58 years old) and her reply was "what are you going to do?". I suggested that I wasn't going to wait to retire because my calendar was completely filled in. We're on her insurance (large bank, really good ins), so I'll stay on it until she retires or ?
Can't wait.
